Considering that wolframalpha is listing bitcoin at 12 cents (that's what they have listed as the spot price?) 

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=bitcoin

I contacted them regarding it,  they said they are working to integrate the weighted spot price of http://www.ounce.me as their spot price...  I made a difference!  Whoo hoo!

They said it will take a few weeks to integrate it...  seriously I felt I made a difference today!

They're listing it as 12.5 cents because of how their automatic heuristic search engine is processing it, not because of an outdated price check.

Bit = an eighth of something, a la 8 bits to a byte.

12.5 cents = an eighth of a dollar.

Very cool regardless, hope to see it working soon.

That might the case,  but in reality does it matter?  Listing it at 12 cents is just not accurate.
