What Is I.B.M.’s Watson?

This is ground breaking for sure and is definitely not having to do with the publishing space: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/20/magazine/20Computer-t.html?pagewanted=1. On the other hand it has a lot to do with the information space and that's enough for me.
It shows what a company can do when is using it's resources. It is the kind of development I expect to see more often because there are so very few things happening in the software space that it becomes boring. As the article said there is no reinvented wheel there. They just use creatively what already exists. I'm kind of an IBM fan and news like that engage my thought in a very positive way. It makes me think somehow positively about the corporate world.
Good job Mr. Ferrucci.
