This has absolutely nothing to do with food or cooking in any way, but I think it is very interesting and worth sharing! Living at MIT makes me excited about new technology!
IBM has created a computerized Jeopardy contestant, "Watson", who will be competing tonight against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. "Watson" has been in the works for years, and was created by researchers at IBM's TJ Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY (this is he same location where Jamie interned 2 summers ago!). Watson, which is the size of 10 refrigerators (I know this thanks to NOVA), utilizes machine learning to behave more like the human brain. It should be very interesting to see who wins on Jeopardy: man or machine? We'll find out soon because the battle begins tonight!
