Google upgraded it’s Squared service first released back in June. Google Squared is now able to display up to 120 facts per query. Back in June it was only able to display 30 facts per query.

Google Squared was previewed just before Wolfram Alpha was launched and it was really welcomed by the public. Wolfram Alpha received a lot of praise, but it wasn’t exactly what people expected. However, Google is exactly what people expected and it’s great. From the Google Labs, here comes Squared – launched yesterday, it’s still in [...]

Rumors said that Microsoft’s new search engine will be called Bing, not Kumo, as stated previously, and Steve Ballmer just confirmed the rumor. Bing should feature a simple, minimalist, and colorful interface, along with some interesting features, called “Instant Answers”, that will try to compete Wolfram Alpha.

After months of waiting, rumors, and high expectations, world’s first computation knowledge engine will be introduced via a special [...]

Later this month, a computational knowledge engine will be launched. It is called Wolfram Alpha or Wolfram|Alpha. Many said that this is a search engine and they dubbed it as the Google Killer, but this is just not the case as you can’t compare a Hummer with a Ferrari – they’re not in the same [...]
