Great news, my suggestion: ditch the "time calculated" info on Wolfram results. I personally don't care that something was "Computed by Wolfram|Alpha at Mon Ap

  I care, if its old. The knowing the age of data is very valuable when judging its relevance.

    Then, "Computed by Wolfram|Alpha two minutes ago" would suffice.

      If someone printed it out they then wouldn't know what ago refers to. I will revisit the coloring and size though -- I think I could de-emphasize it a bit.

  It's important so that you can know exactly when it goes into the public domain
  • redthrowaway 15y ago
    Interesting, I hadn't considered that angle. Are all W|A results public domain?

      I believe he means "so you know when it falls out of copyright".

  Yes, or use a much lighter font on the WA timestamp, now it is too prominent. As an example, try to parse this result for "fathers day 2011": "Sunday, June 19, 2011 Computed by Wolfram|Alpha at Tue Apr 19 2011 08:31:06 GMT+0300 (FLE Daylight Time)""

    An improvement is already live regarding this, it used to have the same font size and color for the result and the timestamp. However I would personally make the WA date/time even lighter; http://duckduckgo.com/?q=fathers+day+2011 http://duckduckgo.com/?q=fathers+day+2011 Looks like this now: http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/img/70578-420201195614AM http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/img/70578-420201195614AM
