I was at the IBM campus in Austin yesterday for some meetings. No sign of the Singularity just yet ;-)
Here's a talk by Manoj Saxena, IBM General Manager of the Watson division.

Hey Steve, I came across this blog post: http://infoproc.blogspot.sg/2011/01/i-can-do-that.html
I just wanna ask, was the 2nd conversation between you and Veltman?
Since when did Veltman claim that his Nobel was "stolen"?
Also, don't you realize that this post makes 't Hooft and Veltman look very bad?
"I just wanna ask, was the 2nd conversation between you and Veltman?" yes
"Since when did Veltman claim that his Nobel was "stolen"?" He did this for years. See his samizdat.
For more detail on the history, click the link in the post.
I think you should remove that post.
It gives both Nobel laureates a very bad name.
