“Wolfram|Alpha just went live for the very first time, running all clusters.”

I thought that someone who is interested in design patterns might as well want to know about WolframAlpha, the answer-engine.
It doesn't know anything about pureMVC yet ...:)

I have trouble coming up with sensible questions for it. The demo video is certainly impressive, though. Who knew that the rate of fish production in France is a fifth the rate of trash production in NYC? Amazing. Not sure how to solve problems with it yet, but now that wonderful factoid is forever lodged in my write-once-erase-never memory, alongside the Flintstones' theme song and Cher.
