Google and Wolfram Alpha
I don't think they are actually in the same field to be competitors. I think if Google is talking about/looking at Wolfram Alpha... it's for acquisition of the technology... or an API share. Google doesn't want to be a mega-calculator, but if you could easily integrate WA results and Google web results in the SERPs, it would be good... with new semantic technology Google needs/plans to start implementing... the future of web search is all semantics, and WA is a step in the right direction.
