So IBM has invested years and millions in developing a computer that can understand all the nuances of popular spoken English and named it Watson after IBM's founder. They are going to prove how successful they are by having it compete on Jeopardy, the game show.
Holy Art Fleming Batman, we ought to be shorting the stock as soon as possible. They are saying that it will have many profound applications in improving society as it is refined over time - yeah, like competing on Hollywood Squares for an encore?
