Humanity in jeopardy? Watson triumphs over game show champs

Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings was as gracious as humanly possible in this after action report for Slate although, I thought, there were times during the Jeopardy man vs. machine broadcast, that Mr. Jennings looked ready destroy the supercomputer next to him. (He did mention, once, looking to pull the machine's plug.)

I was surprised that the game show was aired only in its regular late-afternoon time slot. I expected it to be a prime time special.

Thank goodness for DVR's. That's a machine we can still order around.

For the time being....
