I for one welcome our new computer overlords

And thus it came. With some, quite easy to fix, programming errors (saying the same answer after someone else has missed with it - not constraining the answers to the facts such as toronto not being a us city) and quite a few more complex ones, was this "prototype" enough to beat human minds?

I would like to point out Watson always got the first buzz when he was confident he had the answer - he either knew the exact moment the buzz was available or was microseconds faster than his compettitors. I saw Ken almost exasperate against the buzzer since he knew the answers but was not fast enough.

Enough said. You be the judges.

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!
