PBS aired a NOVA program about this last night. Unfortunately I was
only able to stay up for half of it (not b/c it was boring -- it
wasn't in the least). I think you can still watch it on the PBS
website.

I've always liked the T.J. Watson building in Yorktown. I used to
work for a contractor there at night and it always looked like a
giant spaceship to me.

Hi all,
You've probably heard about IBM's Watson supercomputer and its
game of
Jeopardy against Brad Rutter & Ken Jennings next week. If you're
interested, there will be a viewing of the two episodes and a talk by
David Shepler of IBM (who I'm told is the Jeopardy Challenge Program
Manager). He'll be giving a talk about Watson's technology and
will do
Q&A. Details below:

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
