Google will display a specialized first result when doing certain queries on Date of Birth, Date of Death, BirthPlace etc. But why can't it actually calculate a person's age? If I do a lookup like "Person's Age" with a famous person's name, it just spits out the date of birth. Go one step farther Google and give me an exact age according to this month. Same thing goes for "How old is Person".

Example Query (Barack Obama Age):
Barack Obama — Date of Birth: 4 August 1961

You sure have a point here Colin.

Colin : you put Obama and Britney on the same line? You're just doing the same as John McCain last ad :-|

^^

The TV told me they both are celebs. :p

Hmm, just tried a search for 'Elvis Presley Age' and it triggers the birth date info but doesn't indicate that he is dead. So my birthday idea above would have to take into account the birth date and death date and do the math that way to show how old he was when he died.

That's because Elvis is not dead.

TOMHTML Yep, Elvis is alive and well.
Google is really smart. :D
