Watson, IBM supercomputer wins out over best two Human Jeopardy players.

I love the sentiment. But I do have to say there are some advantages to the Computer vs Human, reaction time for the button, Getting the question via text.

How cool would that be drop a couple bucks and play a game against the machine.

But apparently after winning Watson is taking its marbles and going home to work for medical research or something silly like that.
