WolframAlpha.com is kind of like Google but instead of fetching web results it fetches data. I just spent about 20 minutes playing with it and it's pretty incredible.

They're in the process of launching, the site is live right now but they're working out the kinks in their cluster/server setup trying to officially launch by Monday. Cool that they're showing behind the scenes like that.
