Don't forget to tune your local channel to ABC on Feb 14, 15 and 16 when IBM's super computer is going to play final game against former Jeopardy champions. In a practice game on Thursday Jan 13, "Watson" defeated Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the final score was $4,400 for Watson, $3,400 for Jennings and $1,200 for Rutter, close enough to make the official showdown anyone's — or any computer's game. "Watson" will compete on the first-ever man vs. machine competition, which will air Feb. 14, 15 and 16, with two matches being played over three consecutive days. Jennings and Rutter, the show's two most successful contestants, will face off against Watson for a grand prize of $1 million, second place earning of $300,000 and third place of $200,000. Rutter and Jennings will donate 50% of their winnings to charity, and IBM will donate all of its winnings to charity. Here is the video of the practice game:
