Google Now Answers Search prompts?

I didn't know about this (either because I live under a rock or because it's new) but apparently google will return a "guess" or an answer to a search query. I've know that you can do basic calculations and conversions for quite a while but this new "guess" feature seems pretty neat.

I searched "Forza Motorsport 4 release date" and it came back with at the top:

Best guess for Forza Motorsport 4 Release Date is October 11, 2011
Mentioned on at least 7 websites including vgreleases.com, wikipedia.org and operationsports.com -

That's pretty badazz...only thing that annoys the heck out of me is that since I can type faster than it can guess...a lot of times it'll skip some of the letters I typed in in it's search for what I'm saying.

...I'm thinkin, really!?!? we can't wait for me to hit enter?!
