February 26, 2011 I love this! One of the funniest things about American Idol is how they take the tragic or comical stories of the contestants and show them with dramatic music so you get emotionally invested in their characters and the show. They did the same thing when Watson the supercomputer from Jeopardy auditioned.
February 17, 2011 This week on "Jeopardy," a supercomputer named Watson is competing against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the two most storied players in the history of the game show
Watson is able to respond in a human voice to Alex Trebek’s answers. And the supercomputer is able to do so quickly enough to often beat the two human "Jeopardy" legends to the buzzer.
After the first day of the competition Watson was tied with Rutter for the lead.
