Researchers at IBM launched a billion-dollar project to develop a machine that could compete in the quiz show Jeopardy--and win. The machine faced off in a high-ratings match against two former champions, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. Journalist Stephen Baker carries readers on a captivating journey from the IBM labs to the showdown in Hollywood. The story features brilliant Ph.D.s, Hollywood moguls, knowledge-obsessed Jeopardy masters--and a very special collection of silicon and circuitry named Watson. It was a classic match of Man vs. Machine, not seen since the chess-playing computer Deep Blue bested the world's reigning grandmaster, Garry Kasparov. And Watson needed to do more than churn through chess moves or find a relevant Web page--it had to understand language, including puns and irony, and master everything from history and literature to science, arts, and entertainment.--Adapted from publisher description.

Despite where you personally stand, have you ever stopped to deeply explore what the Bible, our true guide in every aspect of life, has to say about this divisive topic? Money has a strange effect on people. For some people accumulating money and creating wealth is a habit and the aim of their life is to ensure that they are never without it. Others view money as a means to an end - necessary but in itself with no value - its only purpose to help them get through life with as little hassle as possible. There are people who consider money to be evil in itself, as it brings out the raw sinful responses of greed, avarice, covetousness, jealousy etc. At the opposite end of the spectrum there are those who see money as a posi-tive thing, to be desired and a visible evidence of success, skill, creativity, and intelligence. This book will explore the truth about what money is and look at it from a biblical perspective; in other words - What does the Bible say about money?
