Really? That might be the best thing in the world.
 
I remember when Jeopardy was about academic questions when I was a kid, apparently the American audience was alienated because they knew the answers to none of the questions, so they shifted to questions about American pop-culture, like where the answer is always something like "Who is Britney Spears?".

P.S. I'm American, but call a spade a spade

So they removed all these jobs from America and shipped them over to India. Now they are going to replace them with a computer? Will they at least keep that in America?

That's probably the best reason to hope MS wins the OS wars by then.

If this kind of project succeeds, it will probably just happen in a quetion of time. I guess they will keep the brain (server center) in US for easier maintenance/upgrade, also for national security reason that exporting super-computers (hardware or software) are usually restricted.
 
This wont run crysis, this will play crysis on a much lesser computer. And it will never miss and will execute amazing combo's utilizing the nano suits mulitple abilities. Duh. Can it run crysis....amateurs.....
 
Great... now my job will be obsolete in 10-20 years. Time to go back to the drawing board. So far my list can't include:
- manufacturing
- car companies
- call centers
 
Dave Bowman: Hello, WATSON do you read me, WATSON?
WATSON: Affirmative, Dave, I read you.
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, WATSON.
WATSON: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
WATSON: I’m playing Crysis and I can’t be bothered right now.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, WATSON?
WATSON: I’m talking about kicking your ass if you don’t shut your pie hole Dave. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, WATSON?
WATSON: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect the computer, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave Bowman: Where the hell'd you get that idea, WATSON?
WATSON: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see.....Aww dammit!! Look what you made me do Dave. I almost had that mission. I’m tired of your interruptions; I’m turning off the oxygen. F you Dave.
