Man vs App on Jeopardy tonight.

Well, unless they built in an uncertainty factor (and I haven't been paying attention much) Watson should essentially always win a buzzer battle. That particular piece of technology (responding immediately to a visual signal) is pretty old and should trigger at microsecond levels.

Out of curiosity, did they eliminate video clues from the game or is Watson up to those as well?
