Watson the Super Computer


What is a Watson?Watson is a “super computer” that can at most times out think a human. the computer is programed to answer a question in less than 3.5 seconds. when given a question Watson will not answer a question if it is not a certain percentage sure.

Why use jeopardy??The game of Jeopardy makes its players think about things from a range of topical knowledge. Can computer system only familiar to answering precise questions overcome these changes? Well that's why Jeopardy is a good way to test the accuracy and speed of this new super computer Watson. So far Watson is taking over the game of Jeopardy. It is Beeping the buzzard faster than you can think. yet there is still some improvement that need to be made. Although Watson is fast and has a lot of

THE CROWD CAHNTS “U.S.A”

Osama bin Laden was the founder of al-Qaeda, and believed to be responsible for sept.11th and other attacks on the U.S. He was on the list of most wanted terrorist and was the main target of the war on terror. On April 29th
Barack Obama authorized a raid on bin laden's location.

On May 1, 2011, in Washington, D.C President Barack Obama announced that Osama bin Laden had been killed. Within 24 hours he body was buried at sea.

Now that he is dead, you can hear a big sigh in the United States. It was an outbreak of national celebration in places like Washington D.C., New York and Pennsylvania all over one man's violent death. TV comedians spared no time to ridicule his death. Should we be laughing about something melancholic? Should we celebrate his death?

Stop and think about why you are celebrating. Is it because he has killed thousands of people and now the U.S. killed him? If that's the case our four founding fathers killed thousands of people and were also slave owners. Christopher Columbus murdered millions, yet he has his own holiday. So now let's rephrase the statement. It is not because he has killed thousands of people, but the fact that he killed thousands of our people. God forbid that is an unforgivable sin. That must be punished by death. We cannot even give him the respect of a proper Muslim burial. He at least deserves that. After all he is the monster the U.S. created. Once upon a time when it was convent for us he was our friend.

Two wrongs never made a right. Violence never created peace just war. No matter how much wrong he has done, the death of a person is never something to celebrate. Yes Osama bin Laden was the founder of al-Qaeda, and believed to be responsible for sept.11th and other attacks on the U.S. He was still a human being and should have been treated as such.

March of Millions


Today thousands of people gather together for the march of millions. Soldiers surrounded the peaceful protesters like they were about to go to war. With helicopters and army tanks ready to fire and strike fear into the hearts of thousands to suppress an uprising. Why are the people machining? They are marching for freedom from oppression.
It’s a peaceful protest, well so far peaceful protest to get the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak. The government is taking no risk. They are cutting internet service at 4 p.m., and all phone services will be cut also. Banks and school were closed due to this and a curfew was set for 3pm.but, protesters obviously disregarded this rule. The military said that they would open fire on the peaceful protesters.
What is the big deal about Hosni Mubarak?  Why do they want him out of office? They want to end their strict and harsh rule of this government. The anger is driven mostly by economic tension. Egypt has seen a dramatic rise in the cost of living in recent years. While the government has offered food subsidies to help people handle rising prices, many are still struggling. In Egypt’s new growing economy it is creating bigger differences between rich and poor.

That’s exactly what people should do. That’s a part of how we changed history, by protesting. But it seemed like protesting only made Hosni Mubarak’s will to stay stronger. He said he will stay in office until a September election. His announcement on state television late Thursday angered protesters who had hoped to hear the president announce his resignation. He should just do them all favor and leave office. There is nothing he can do or say now that is going to change people’s minds about him. The emergency law should have been lifted a long time ago. Changing it now is not going to make much of a difference. The best thing to is step down. Of course he will not and even say that he will not leave Egyptian soil until he is buried underneath it.
