Wolfram|Alpha Comes Alive with CDF
Launched last month, the Computable Document Format (CDF) puts easy-to-author interactivity at its core, empowering readers to drive content and generate results live.
Now a major new example of CDF is on its way: Wolfram|Alpha. With experimental interactive features based on CDF technology, get active answers with active controllers. Just download the Wolfram CDF Player and look for the CDF icon on select Wolfram|Alpha results pages to start exploring.
