LMS runs in Google Chrome Beta 10 and Dev 11

Google Chrome IconImage via WikipediaOn the 19th of this month, Google took a step up their version ladder by releasing Chrome 11 Beta and a Chrome 11 Dev builds. If you’ve already been using one of the builds, it should have already updated to the latest version all thanks to the automated update system.

I am pleased to tell you that I have tested LMS and now it runs even faster with Chrome!

Did you watch Watson on Jeopardy?

As an IBM business partner we were quite pleased to see this amazing technology demonstrated on Jeopardy.
We received this notice from IBM:


Dear member of PartnerWorld,

On February 14, 15 and 16, IBM's Watson computing system makes it debut as the first-ever non-human contestant to compete on the Jeopardy! quiz show. The format of Jeopardy! provides the ultimate challenge for a computing system because it covers an unlimited range of subject matter and clues that involve analyzing subtle meaning, irony, riddles, and other complexities in which humans excel and computers traditionally do not. But this is more than just a game. Watson's ability to process this kind of data represents a major leap forward in natural language processing, systems design and deep analytics -- innovations with the potential to transform industries. This is a great representation of the innovation IBM and our Business Partners can offer our customers.
