shame its rubbish

Go on, ask it "How long do ferrets live?" the first two answers involve Sylvester McCoy and Rudi Guliani. Only the fifth result mentions ferrets in context and even then fails to answer the question. Complete twaddle!

Try this

Type in "Is Microsoft evil". Note the second link. What a peculiar Vista.

They´re working on it, dude.

@Geoffs:

They´re a STARTUP company. And, considering what they´re attempting, I´m not the least bit surprised if it starts out as inaccurate. If they can supply an engine that can answer 1 out of 2 questions accurately, they´ll have a major accomplishment, in my opinion.

And if they can make it even partially accurate, then it´s just a matter of time before they make it super-accurate.

I can imagine a situation where they have a free version that only researches your question for anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute, and a paid version that asks for a question and an amount, and attempts to answer the question for that amount. (Actually, it would probably be much more complicated, but I don´t want to annoy people with my analysis)
