Some of you, mostly those that are in Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics related studies have already met Wolfram Mathematica, a great piece of software that’s become quite indispensable in my every day’s life. And now, we can finally enjoy all of the beauties, functionality and computational power of its algorithms on the Internet, for free. But the awesomeness doesn’t stop here, it continues with the search engine’s capability to serve you some cold facts about countries, finances, cities, important personalities and even more, all enriched with additional charts and data to help you get what you want.

Ted says he will attempt to cross the ocean in his submarine and plans to venture on this exciting journey as soon as the vessel is perfected.

The submarine’s design however, is not raising attention only among those who are attracted by extreme water sports, but also among marine biologists. (continue reading…)
