Watson, a computer designed by IBM, won against two Jeopardy champions (Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter) in a two-game series of Jeopardy and winning a total of nearly $77,000. This is fascinating because it was usually correct, although it did stumble on a question. According to CNN online, this computer has been in development for several years and has the processing power of 2,800 computers.

I read the story on msn.com and is funny that this is actually believable.The computer might have had the answers to the question coded into it embedded software.There is no way the others competitor will be able to tell if that is true or not.
