An interesting article from Reuters

"Cell phone search takes on Net engines"
http://news.com.com/2100-1039_3-5209909.html

A new mobile phone service is challenging big Internet search engines by
providing exact answers to any question, such as the number of steps of
the Empire State building, the 1928 manager of British football club
Chelsea, or which color hat to put on in the morning.

The service, dubbed Any Question Answered (AQA), provides an unusual mix
of computer-automated search and human research to come up with answers
that cost one pound ($1.76) apiece.
