GADGETS & GAMES \| JANUARY 14, 2011 Computer Conquers 'Jeopardy!' Watson came out swinging. In its first public demonstration, the computer system built by International Business Machines Corp. defeated two "Jeopardy!" champions in a practice match ahead of a formal competition that will air on TV in mid-February. It wasn't the first time that humans have taken it on the chin from technology. In 1997, an IBM supercomputer named Deep Blue defeated Gary Kasparov, then considered the greatest living chess player. But Watson opens a new era in the battle between man and machine.
