You ’re laying on a grassy knoll , staring at cloud , thinking about pup and enquire if Becky and/or Brian Jones will go with you to the downslope terpsichore . Then a sheet vanish overhead . You question where it ’ll end up . But you no longer have to question : Wolfram Alphawill tell you .
It ’s an awe-inspiring — and supremely nerdy — new feature that the computational search railway locomotive has cooked up : it will poll your geoIP location and tell you what airplane are overhead . And that the nomadic apps take advantage of the feature actually make it somewhat usable IRL .
If you run a hunt for “ planes overhead , ” it will return a list of any and all planes your eyeball can descry , the trajectory number , where they ’re position in the sky and how many miles up they are . In the web web browser interpretation , the flight translation is hyperlinked , record you its flight route . And it may take some of the sport out of your impulsive musing , but whatever . Knowledge is world power . [ Wolfram AlphaviaCnet ]
