I don't get why it says SkyNet was destroyed in August 1997...I thought that's when it took over?

I nominate Wolfram Alpha for the tech disappointment of the year. There was so much hype, but it doesn't know what to do with a lot of my queries, even though they are science related. Great for math and physics and the weather, bad for biology or medicine. Type in "computer" and it tells you about a periodical called Computer rather than actual computers. Type in "Apollo 13" and it tells you about the movie rather than the actual space mission. Lame.

It would be creepy if it gave these numbers as the result:

4 8 15 16 23 42

Are you a Cylon? (http://www46.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=are+you+a+cylon%3F)
Are you The Matrix? (http://www46.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=are+you+the+matrix%3F)
Are you the Oracle? (http://www46.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=are+you+the+oracle%3F)
Are you HAL 9000? (http://www46.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=are+you+HAL+9000%3F)
Are you Spock? (http://www46.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=are+you+spock%3F)

It seems the programmers doesn't like Sci-Fi that much.
