Another just released item that has a lot of implications for us is Wolfram Alpha, a new search engine that has just recently been released.
Instead of giving a list of web sites as a result it can format and present an answer to your query. This is only working on a subset of the Internet that the wolfram people have turned into a database.
What it does have data on works very well and there are a number of examples on the site to give you an idea of what it can do.
It looks like it will be very good for Maths, Science and Geography at least.
Have a look, try it out and let me know what you think.
