Great, I tried the same query. Description says Alan Turing was born in Orrisa, India but Place of Birth field says London. I think such inconsistencies might limit the use of Google Sqaured for serious research.

I used it to compare televisions (I'm thinking about buying one) and it was surprisingly useful. It definitely reduces a lot of the noise around doing side-by-side comparisons of multiple products. The data was VERY complete, I am impressed.

Oh sorry, I re-read the article. It says Alan Turing was conceived, and not born, in Orissa, India. Apparently, Google is better than humans at interpreting text :)
PS: I am not sure if place where Alan Turing was conceived is an apt information. Why would anyone want to know that?
