Anyone following tech news will know that today was the debut of Watson the Jeopardy-playing computer. Did anyone else watch? And are you rooting for the humans or the machine?

I saw this, Watson was very impressing. And just to be stupid i said, "AHHH! IBM HAZ STARTED THE ROBOT APOCALYPSE!"
But he/it was really impressing, my brother said that it/he cheated though when it/he went to the DD automatically.

That was just luck; if Watson had known where the DD was, it would have waited until it had more than $1000 to risk. Besides, the Daily Double is statistically most likely to be in one of the 800 or 1000 slots.

Lol, was that a week's quota of posts right there?

Why is everyone so scared of Watson? It's a computer that answers trivia, not a renegade humanoid killing-machine.

Than again I'm not scared of cockroaches either so maybe I'm the odd one.
