In the article he claims EC2 is $27/month. Was there a recent price reduction?

He computed incorrectly. He didn't include the usage, with the reservation cost. A reduced usage still applies. The correct price is...
h = hours in a year = 8765
($325+($0.03 * h))/12 = $49.00/month
The best deal is a 3 year block
($500+($0.03 * h * 3))/36 = $35.80/month

From the article:
"With a reserved instance (you pay for a whole year in advance) the price is $325 or $27/month. But that doesn't include Data Transfer, EBS, Elastic IP or S3 costs. Got that info from https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/#pricing"
