Wolfram Alpha will not only give a straight answer to questions such as "how high is Mount Everest?", but it will also produce a neat page of related information – all properly sourced – such as geographical location and nearby towns, and other mountains, complete with graphs and charts.

How many people will read past that "straight answer"? And where is that straight answer coming from, a politically correct source? Sounds like the same as using Wikipedia as the definitive source. Color me skeptical.
