Watch IBM's Watson win it all on Jeopardy
Well, we might as well throw in the towel and accept the fact that we’ll be kneeling to our robot overlords in the future. If a bunch of metal and plastic can beat a human at Jeopardy, we’ve seriously reached the next level in computing — we just hope the other contestants weren’t too crushed.

Whenever I recieve an email from a company, I mark it as spam with the mind-set of “why the hell am I on this mailing list!”, but when I get an email from Apple, I usually check it out. The main reason I don’t mind reading Apple email is because they don’t spam me, and secondly it’s well laid out and designed — here’s the anatomy of an Apple email.

The new HTC MWC event unleased two new Facebook branded smartphones dubbed the “Salsa” and “ChaCha”. Mark Zuckerberg is obviously interested in experimenting with mobile platforms, and Facebook definately has the weight to do so — and by pure hype, the Facebook phones will no doubt break into the main-stream market of texting, Facebook chatting teens.

LG Optimus Pad Advertisement crane kicks Steve Jobs in the face
Ok LG, your new Pad looks great and we’re sure it’s going to be a smash hit — but do you really need to crane kick Steve Jobs in the face? (1:00 mark) I mean, your just opening a big ol’ can of worms here. The commercial itself isn’t great (insane 90’s style 3D effects with generic techno music doesn’t ft right) but the devices look cool. Really confused right now…. We’ll get back to you LG.

Crysis 2 PC Campaign Gameplay - 2 Parts
Crysis 2 was recently leaked (via Torrents) online before it’s late March 22nd date, and Crytek is obviously fuming over their poor security that was guarding the treasured sequel. The game in this video is un-finished, and is basically a Beta version of the game. As usual, the graphics are mind-blowing and the game overal is mouth-watering — enjoy these videos captured by BurningFish on Youtube.
