Check out Wolfram Alpha. It’s a neat search tool, which can provide information right away, instead of just giving you a bunch of links to places where you might be able to find the information. It’s new, so it’s still limited. But, it has rather diverse uses. For example, in the search box below, you can type “Daniel” to see when my name was most popular in the US. Or type “Daniel vs David” to see which is more popular. You even get a plot in the results. You can also do fancy math like “integrate cos(x).” Take a look at their page for more uses.
