Jeopardy Watson

Anyone watch Watson on Jeopardy? (unfortunately I didn't, heard about it through NOVA). What did you think of the so called match?

It was a complete blowout, Watson showed Ken and that other guy how it's done. It was simply amazing to see a computer playing Jeopardy like that, to hear the questions and comprehend them and then come up with the answer the way it does in a split second.

My understanding is that this technology can be used to help in consulting, i.e. the health field.

I would like to see future matches pitting one computer against another.
