Wolfram Alpha Followup

Wolfram Alpha, the "computational search engine" launched last Friday amid a fair amount of hype about it being a Google killer.

Maybe not so much. From SlashDot via InstaPundit: "Wolfram Alpha's terms of use are completely different in that it is not a search engine; it's a computational service. The legalese says that they claim copyright on the each results page and require attribution."

Interesting back-and-forth between CNet's Matt Asay and Wolfram Alpha's Theodore Grey here.
