Great! Skynet is born. I always thought it would be Google to start up the war between machine and man but instead it will be a Jeapordy computer? But wait! It may bee a bunch of servers running Linux but it is gathering info from Google I'm sure. Maybe this marriage of the Jeapordy CPU and Google with birth SKYNET! Spooky!

Yes, that is it exactly. Last night Watson played against the longest running former champion, and the champion who has won the most money ever. Watson was tied with the money guy at the end of the match. It's a championship demo match, so they play on tonight and tomorrow night.

We are all doomed! This is funny, Iwas reading about these super computers today. They say one now controls some gambling for Texas Holdem in Vegas. They say this one was predicting weather but started making really bad weather guesses and playing out the end of the world and such. They said it was bored so they taught it Jeapordy.
