I love how, when he gets a Daily Double, the camera shows the computer for a few seconds - like they do when a person gets a Daily Double. It's weird seeing them treat it like a person.

I wonder how it's designed to wager on the Daily Doubles.

Final Jeopardy was pretty funny. No idea how he came up with that answer.

The final Jeopardy answer made me laugh pretty hard.

I love that he put question marks because he was unsure.

And earlier in the show, he was only 32% sure of an answer, so he said "I'll take a guess, Alex".

I like how the final answer, which was the city of Chicago, had the computer stumped. It only bet like $947 and lost. I also like how I knew the answer and announced it before it was even said.

Watching Watson play Jeprody is as entertaining as talking to a chat bot online...

Its two different thing.

Blue Gene is hardware. Pure computing power.

Watson is software. The artificial intelligence.
