Pokerstars homegames!

I'm really excited about the new product Pokerstars rolled out. One of the most fun activities at this point in my life is gathering at a friend's house (or hosting our own) for a poker night. It's always kind of a pain - not everyone can make it at the same time or day.

You could kind of agree on going online at the same time and for everyone to join the same tournament, but bragging rights are reduced to who finished up highest. |Seldom will you actually face your friends - until now!

So far I've posted the info on my facebook account, but leave me a comment if you want me to send you the info to your e-mail :)

if you don't have the software, click on the link to the right - if you turn out to be a poker star I'll make some money, just because you used my link!

You are invited to join my private poker club for Home Games online.

- If you don't already have it, download the free PokerStars software from www.pokerstars.com
- Open the main poker lobby, then click on the Home Games tab
- Click the 'Join a Poker Club' button
- Enter my Club ID number: 58537
- Enter my Invitation Code: (it's on facebook or ask me for it in the comments below)

watson, mientras el futuro te alcanza.

You should read As the future catches you just so you can understand why this is so amazing:

Meet Watson . He already showed today he can be the best assistant you can imagine. Today, he is an amazingly complex and expensive computer, owned solely by IBM. Tomorrow, He will be your phone/computer. By that time, you will be talking to one of Watson's descendants, almost more than to humans. He will be the voice in the call centers you reach out to, or at least their aid if you would rather talk to a human. He will be your doctor someday, he will fix your problems, and amazingly, you will wonder what education is really for, if we have this wonderful machines that can answer everything.

This is the first step in making a computer indistinguishable.

The next big breakthrough, will be when a PC thinks without an input. A computer that exists, takes in, communicates, interacts, creates and experiences - basically, lives.
