10 Million Reasons Tiger Was Afraid of Rachel

TMZ has learned Rachel Uchitel — the pilgrim of alleged mistresses — settled up with Tiger Woods for waaaaaaay more than you think … as in $10 MILLION!!
There were numerous reports Rachel settled on the brink of holding a Gloria Allred-style news conference for anywhere between $2 – 5 million.
But our sources — and they are good — tell TMZ Tiger was so concerned with the depth and detail of information from Alleged Mistress #1 that they folded like a cheap suit, and offered the huge $10 million sum in return for an ironclad confidentiality agreement.
TMZ has learned the actual settlement could fluctuate $1 million either way, depending on future circumstances. But the baseline is $10 mil.
Compare Rachel’s settlement with what other A.M’s received, if they got anything at all. We’re told several mistresses got several hundred thousand dollars, and others got nothing. That speaks volumes about how much Rachel knows.
Insiders are saying Rachel’s settlement could be a precursor to what Elin Nordegren could get if she pulls the plug on her marriage to Tiger. Reports that Elin could get $300 million under the prenup are absurd. It’s more likely the prenup is in the $5 – 10 million range, with provisions for support. But insiders tell us — with the backdrop of Rachel’s settlement — there’s no way Tiger would get off cheaper than $20 mil.

Wolfram Alpha has decided it’d be good if people actually use the supercalculator on their phone, so its famously $50 iPhone (and soon to be iPad) app will be $2 starting Saturday. And, they’re legitimately making the mobile site better.
Oh, burn, early adopters suckers. Except! They’ll give your money back to anybody “who feels slighted.” Despite their righteous early stand for the value of iPhone apps, and charging what they felt was the “value of this product,” according to Wolfram Managing Director Barak Berkowitz—a point they say they’ve proven, so now it’s time to focus on accessibility—they’re practically begging for people who actually paid full price to get their money back with the quippy URL http://www.wolframalpha.com/iwantmymoneyback. (Apple will still keep the 30 percent cut of the revenue from every returned app, so this will actually cost WA money.)
Potentially pissing off their earliest customers is kind of a ballsy way to go about their new goal of becoming more ubiquitous, but hey, maybe it’ll work. At $2 for a universal app that’ll work on both the iPhone and iPad, it’s worth the money now, so that’s a pretty good start. [Wolfram Alpha]
Update: The price is going to $2 on Saturday with the new iPad app, edited post to reflect that.
