is that a sombrero?
Nah, you must be thinking of this.

#13One of the differentiating factors of Wolfram|Alpha: Gone.
Google's doesn't require a 250mb plugin to become interactive (just a webgl capable browser...). And it seems to be about 8 times faster than W|A...
W|A still does a lot of things other sites don't do, but it tends to be unusably slow, and inconsistent (running same query twice in a row will sometimes not give all of the same results).
I figure the end is probably closer than one might expect for W|A. They don't seem to be moving quick enough to stay infront of the curve forever. Also, the site is becoming littered with obtrusive ads, and that's a pretty negative experience. (I also hear Wolfram's company may be struggling.)
This should have been praise for Google's new tool, but it turned into a rant on Wolfram|Alpha... whoops.

#14Very cool. Worked for all equations I tried with x and/or y but not z. Also doesn't work with greek letters. Worked with f(x) but not ƒ(x) or f(x,y).

#15This works great in Firefox 11. It doesn't work in Chrome 18 which has WebGL disabled (on Linux). EDIT: I really doesn't work because "NVIDIA cards with nouveau drivers in Linux are crash-prone." Firefox has no trouble, strangely.
> 3D charts require a web browser and system that support WebGL.
Courtesy of Firefox 11.
(edit) Apparently webgl.force-enabled needs to be set to true in about:config, and then it works.

#16Am I missing something? What's the significance of this link?

On the website it rotates automatically and you can also control it manually, it's not static like in the screenshot.

WebGL is definitely not disabled. You either disabled it or your GPU is not on the whitelist (or is on the blacklist).

I am also using Firefox on Linux and was actually suprised this worked. I assumed WebGL was still disabled by default for us.

You can enable it in about:flags
Actually the thing in about:flags to to "enable" the "disabling" of WebGl.
