Launched some days ago.

It's not fully functional yet, not fast enough. I don't know why they launched it so soon. ALTHOUGH I have to praise it's mathematical functions, that is just freaking awesome...try typing anything like x^2/e^x (that's what I had to integrate in a differential equation last Thursday, damnit). Cool stuff.

I watched the webcast, which was absolutely horrible.

Someone found a backdoor so I started using it before it was launched. Then, when they launched, there were all sorts of stupid load problems. I doubt they hired people with actual experience on how to build scalable, fault-tolerant environments.

It is pretty cool though.
