"We will soon create intelligences greater than our own.

The world has watched rapt for the past two days as IBM super computer Watson has at first held its own and then gone on to defeat Jeopardy champions Brad Rutter ($10,400) and Ken Jennings ($4,800), raking in $35,734 by the end of �night two yesterday. People are even speculating as to whether its much ballyhooed false "Toronto" answer is some sort computer joke.
