Subject: Results from Wolfram Alpha: All the Questions We Ever Wanted  
to Ask About Software as a Service

Software as a Service upends the relationship between computer users and
software. I'm seriously tempted to say that Wolfram Alpha takes the
SaaS model to its extreme. So Wolfram Alpha's chances at scaling the
heights of fame should force us to stop for a moment and run our own
calculations concerning the value to us of data integrity,
reliability, privacy, and innovation.
