"Today's Wolfram|Alpha is the first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone. You enter your question or calculation, and Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and growing collection of data to compute the answer..."So the good folk over at Gizmodo do a search on the word "dumb." Yeah, like Dumb and Dumber. Or Reid and Pelosi. Or Obama and Biden. You get my drift? Anywho...it kicks back the word "black" as a synonym. OK. Naturally, they assume there is some sort of racist overtones to the search engine. Really? Have we reached that stage of newspeak already? I'm afraid we might have.
On a side note, I love Gizmodo. They do some great work (usually) and get to play with lots of cool toys. Color me envious.
