I dunno dudes... that avatar looks like a bunch of nukes sailing around the earth and hitting targeted spots.
That kind of visual, on a supercomputer that can think for itself scares me bit.

Good read here:

Excerpt: When the IBM 1401 was taken out of service in 1971, it wasn't simply thrown away like an old refrigerator, but was given a little farewell ceremony, almost a funeral, when its melodies were played for one last time. This "performance" was documented on tape along with recordings of the sound of the machine in operation.

I found the questions were really geared towards Watson, sort of cut and dry, the same search google can perform.
What would really impress me is if Watson performed well in more abstract categories like puns, word play or other answers that require creativity.
