So I've been keeping an eye on this site since I first heard about it awhile back, and it's pretty awesome.  It still in the early phase, but I'm pretty sure it'll be super awesome eventually.

Don't think of it as a search engine, so much as a tool for comparing things, or finding weird information.  Tell it hello.  Try the sample searches.

That's awesome, but kids these days aren't learning shit in school, the last thing they need is a crutch so they don't need to remember simple formulas.

Pretty sure someone made the same argument about calculators at some point.  I wouldn't at all be surprised if the same thing was said about the abacus and books at some point too.

IMO making information easier to access is almost always a good thing.
