WolframAlpha Makes It to Popular Science
November 14, 2009
Popular Science, like Mechanix Illustrated, are interesting but increasingly slim publications. I remember the good old days of big fat magazines, stuffed with interesting articles. My interest in science began with Popular Science and a weekly called Science News. My memory is not too good when I push back 45 years. I have not thought much about either publication, but Popular Science hit my radar screen when I read an email from WolframAlpha that pointed me to this blog post: http://url.wolfram.com/cJY71Ik/
The Popular Science editorial team has, according the unsolicited email from a WolframAlpha PR person who must think I am a journalist said:
We are delighted to announce that Popular Science, the world’s largest science and technology magazine, has released its 22nd annual list of the best 100 innovations, and named Wolfram|Alpha as the “Best of What’s New” Grand Award winner in the category of computing. Popular Science states that all 100 innovations must “push past what we thought was possible,” and we are honored by that recognition.
First a deal with Bing.com, then recognition from Popular Science. Heady stuff indeed. Now if I could only figure out how to get consistent results….

A freebie, but at the assisted living facility I saw an old copy of Popular Science. Well read I might add. No one paid me to point out that Popular Science is a slim publication. No need to alert the Illinois State Police is there?
