Well, the future goes for semantic, not literal search.

From a Slashdot comment:
Google is old hat - everyone who is anyone uses Wolfram Alpha.
Alpha-ing "cost of keyboard" [1] gives a price of $47.87 - although if it
has a "market cap" (is that anything like caps lock?) the price skyrockets
to $21.2 billion.

Just be glad you're looking at the cost of a keyboard instead of the actual
value [2] - according to Wolfram Alpha, the value of a keyboard is U+2328.
Although I'm not sure what that is in US dollars, because "convert U+2328
to US dollars" [3] doesn't seem to give anything helpful.

[3] http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=convert+U%2B2328+to+US+dollars

Yeah, welcome to the future...

Wait, what?
