#2So when do we get the version he talked about at Startup School that can find a unifying theory of physics by running cellular automata with randomly generated start conditions?

#3Mathematica is nice but I dont like their licensing policies. Had a huge fight with them once after I had to reinstall my OS :(

#4Sweet Jesus. The image-processing capability is pretty hot, as is this:
ProteinData["A2M", "MoleculePlot"]

#5It truly, truly sucks that Mathematica would cost me nearly a month of pay. I'd love to have it and use it, but that is just far too much.

Maybe you can try sage:

In 10^10^(big number) years? :-)

#8While I will probably never use mathematica, due to its breathtaking price, one can only wonder how many researchers the world over simply pirate it. I also doubt we will ever see Wolfram willing to set the price at a level that normal human beings can afford.
Perhaps a client-server version that does all its computing back at Wolfram's servers, would give them the confidence to dabble with a sane price point...

It's funny to think that the singularity, if it is coming, will produce this profound qualitative shift in human existence. And at the same time mean absolutely nothing in the face of a problem such as this.

#10Some of this stuff is jaw droppingly awesome. But I have to say, the most useful things for me will be the discrete calculus, the new visualizations, and the enhanced typesetting and UI. Many of the new mathematical additions are very interesting but very specific.
I am very happy that Mathematica 7 ships with so much data. Data processing and procurement is a perpetual burden for those in chemistry, life science and environmental science. I'll be glad if this tax has somewhat lifted it.
