The world gives birth to another enormous electronic brain.

There's a new search engine in the world, at www.wolframalpha.com. Rather than return web pages from other idiots to your question, it just works the answers out itself, like an enormous electronic brain. What will these Geniuses think of next?

It seems to me that Stephen Wolfram is trying to make an important political point by releasing this website. He's making the point that sometimes you can't trust people to look after themselves. Don't trust each other.. trust a huge electronic brain. It all seems rather extreme to me, but I look forward to seeing how it progresses.

The site couldn't tell me how many test hundreds Kevin Pietersen had scored.

    It might surprise you to learn that in the old days, we didn't have enormous electronic brains to work out answers to our problems! Oh no.. we would spend hour after hour trawling through every book in the library, one by one. Many a young man went blind or mad in the pursuit of knowledge.

    The only place you could buy condoms in those days was at the barber's shop. This is why sailors of the era had such short hair.

    All the best CC!

    This is just one more example of how Gordon Brown and his CORRUPT CRONIES have OVERSTEPPED THE LINE. Jesus.. What next? A rocket powered tax inspector?!?!

  3. Shocking though this may be, I suspect it has nothing to do with Gordon Brown.
