Wow, that’s some price drop. The Wolfram Alpha recently went from the $50 Ultra Double Somersault Premium price range down to the Double Fart Apps Plus price of $1.99 (news via Lifehacker). This is not a sale, but a permanent price drop. The computational search engine also announced that “early adopters” are eligible for a refund: all you have to do is request one.

The service is apparently great for asking very specific questions about objective data and display answers in a way that Google simply can’t manage right now — although at first glance it looks to me like a usage mix of Wikipedia and Google.
