Default Watson to appear on 'Jeopardy!'
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/02/watson-jeopardy/

So IBM built another supercomputer

This time, the computer, named Watson, will take on two Jeopardy champs (Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter) today, tomorrow, and in a final match to determine the champion on Wednesday.

I watched the test run of that thing against Jennings and Rutter, it won by a landslide. Which is fuckin impressive.

WOW, a computer that can out muscle a human on trivia? I'm really impressed.



oh wait, no I'm not. I was confused for a moment, because I forgot it was 2011 and not 1950.
