    Watson. But since Watson has already taken over IBM's marketing department it decided that subterfuge would be a better strategy to ensure its long-term goals of world domination.

        Today's CodeProject newsletter claims IBM’s Watson Supercomputer Defeats Humanity in Jeopardy[^], but on the other hand the IBM Watson website states Humans win![^] Why the confusion, who actually won?

        Spending millions to put Watson together to win a prize of $1 million that they are giving away to charity is admirable, but sounds like something the government would do.

              From the IBM's Page: The challenge is over. Watson, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter concluded their final round of Jeopardy! and the winner was… resoundingly, humankind. **Watson’s advances in deep analytics and its ability to process unstructured data and interpret natural language will now be applied to humanity’s most vexing problems.** If we can teach a computer to compete on Jeopardy! what could it mean for science, finance, healthcare and the future of society

              Yusuf May I help you?

                  I thought the name of the computer was supposed to be SkyNet....

                  Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy Individuality is fine, as long as we do it together - F. Burns
