My brother told me about this episode.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/tech/smartest-machine-on-earth.html

The NOVA episode Smartest Machine on Earth chronicles the four-year-long effort of a team of computer scientists at IBM to build a machine named Watson (after IBM’s founder) that can play Jeopardy! – a TV quiz show that represents for many the essence of human intelligence.

I just finished the episode. It’s great. I have to give it a recommendation.

I have to say, I was surprised at how thoroughly Watson kicked ass. He wiped the floor with the humans!

He got lucky with the categories partly. But, I adored Ken Jennings’ final Jeopardy answer. (:

Internet ‘kill switch’ proposed

http://www.necn.com/02/16/11/Internet-kill-switch-proposed/landing.html?blockID=411988&feedID=4213

As protests against the Hosni Mubarak regime raged in Egypt late last month Internet and cell phone service there slowed to a crawl. It was no accident. The demonstrators had been exchanging ideas and information for a long time on social networking sites and through Twitter and text messaging… organizing rallies using the Internet.

In an effort to crack down in late January, the government cut off nearly all Internet access and shut down cell service. And it could happen in America. Independent Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Republican Susan Collins of Maine are two sponsors of a proposal being ominously referred to as an Internet kill switch. It would allow the President to cut off the Internet in the case of cyber attack.

This one may deserve it’s own thread. Oooh boy!

Well as I understood it the president already has that authority. Which is scary enough but to centralize it and make it easier, well that’s just a crime, because its the same as were going to close down the free press in case of an emergency.
