the site will attempt to identify anything in a picture .
it also does pretty well identifying simpler things , like the pizza photo i used in a wednesday blog post .
but in many ways , stephen wolfram 's latest search tool is more impressive .
then the internet archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken , or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page 's authors .
if you 're on your phone , it will pull your location , then cross reference that with a database of flights , including their altitude , angle , and even their flight number and aircraft type .
that way , as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web , a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved .
but in my experience , those flashes of brilliance were the exception , not the rule .
in some brief testing , that 's a pretty fair assessment .
i plugged in things you can do with wolfram alpha is ask it what planes are overhead .
