Do you really think Amazon launched this major endeavor without, you know, running it past legal first?

Not. True. The *reaction* shut down. The core heat is residual, even after the reaction itself has been arrested. Maybe we're conflating terms here, but the reaction itself was terminated nearly instantly; there's just a LOT of residual core heat and it's VERY difficult to dissipate.

I would've loved for a bit of camera work on the screen showing its "radar" like that showed at the very end, but during the run. That was insane, though. Faster than you imagine when you hear "self-driving car" for some reason. Here's hoping it doesn't Force Close...

This reminds me so much of Charlize Therone and all of her crazy hats in Arrested Development as Rita that it's... well, no, it's still funny.

"Fun idea" or "poke your eye out" idea or not, that disclosure alone doesn't make up for the authority with which most people perceive Lifehacker's suggestions.

Don't worry, they make it back on volume.

@buckleyneko: It's autonomous in that no one is providing any input into Watson during a game, to my knowledge. (I'm wondering if there's a right/wrong input when Watson provides an answer, so that it knows whether to select another clue or not.)

@buckleyneko: I think you're focusing on the wrong part of the accomplishment, here. They could have easily routed Alex's voice through speech recognition and hoped for the best. Google's SR is really great with no training, and in a controlled environment like Jeopardy, the accuracy would probably be phenomenally…

@Shane Carroll: That was my first thought, too. I think it was a combination of things:
