WA appears to me to be a good addition to the arsenal of search engines,
with its strengths (math-dependent stuff) and weaknesses.  I tried "what is
the distance between Katmandu and Bangalore" and found the precise answer
plus lots of relevant data as a result.  Very good at some things.  Just
don't ask it questions about unusual things or matters of judgment.    (01)
