So I figure this is kinda relevant to such a computer-oriented community. For those of you who live under a rock (outside of the US), Jeopardy is a quiz game show that's been around for a few decades. It's pretty self explanatory... clues are worth a certain amount of cash.
IBM has been working on a supercomputer with some extremely advanced artificial intelligence to compete in a jeopardy game against two of the most successful players to ever appear on the show. The computer's name is Watson.

Here's a vid from IBM from about 8 months ago demonstrating an early version of Watson.
On February 14-16th (next week) Watson will appear live on television to play the game. No one really knows what will happen... I personally think he's going to fist the humans so hard
For those of you thinking that it's a simple computer that just googles shit, it's much more intricate than that. Jeopardy clues are like miniature riddles, often with before and after, rhyme time, etc.
<-- this is the dope on dope
