Hey buzz crew,
Before this app came out (wolfram) there was a mobile iPhone formatted wolfram alpha site that was amazing! I saved it to my home screen but when I clicked on it today, it led me to a add for the app. **sigh** :(
Yours truly,
Cameron Tora
Love the show, but you should clarify the Google Voicemail story. Users choose to 'share' those messages – users shared them. Google is now protecting people from their own stupidity which is cool, but please blame stupid people not Google!
thanks,
Natron from Madison, WI
