I’ve just been sent some screenshots of Wolfram Alpha in action.  There are plenty of other sites that have done this now but here are some from my favourite Wolfram Research informant :)

Looking good so far :)  I can’t wait for this to be launched.

Update: Stephen Wolfram has just published a screencast where he demos Wolfram Alpha.  Check it out for more juicy details.

Further update: Well Wolfram are a brave lot – they are going to do a live webcast when they launch on Friday.  Take a look at the details.

    Wow! I expected the math. But I’m surprised and impressed by the genomics and musical scales!

    Last week I was looking all over the place for a description of an obscure (to me) musical scale I found in a piece by Hovhannes. I eventually found it, but now I have another one I want to look up. I can’t wait to whether “Alpha” can find it.

    (And the genomics stuff could be useful in my day job.)
