you havent even tried it yet. How is it possible το compare two different products? You can put two different people implement the same concepts in algorithms and you will get two different results and you compare a whole product because others failed?

Read the thread again, I was simply giving an example of a similar failed story. Wolfram may or may not fail at this, I simply believe hype of a Google killer before launch is a bad sign.

I can appreciate Empiricism as much as the next guy, but Google Search, Cuil, and Alpha seem comparable.

edit: the dreaded homonym! I mean they can be meaningfully compared to each other, not that they are the equivalent.
