My Inner Nerd Gets Excited: IBM’s Watson Wins Jeopardy
If you are not into computers, this topic might put you to sleep. From Valentine’s Day, Monday February 14, until Wednesday February 16, 2011, two former Jeopardy Champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter battled a computer. And not just any computer.

Korean Hip Hop / K-Pop: T.O.P – Turn It Up
