It is strictly impossible to loose a tic-tac-toe game to ANY oponent when you play first. I'm taking on these smartypant 'cules any day. AAAHHHRRR!

Oh great, molecules as intelligent as (some) children. If the "some" are the mini-yobbo-terrorists that roam the streets safe in the knowledge they are legally untouchable, it's the end of the world as we know it.

But if not, can I get an injection of this stuff please, it might boost my maths skills and I could even beat the sprogs at O-X-O for once...

Penguin? I like penguins

Rise of the Chemicals?

I for one welcome our bonding (chemically) overlords!

Ooo... like the augments in Deus Ex?

Mine's the black leather with the sniper rifle...

It's *always* possible to force a draw, whether you move first or second. Winning depends on particularly inept play by your opponent.

I thought everyone knew this, even Paris Hilton?

I think lose should be spelled with one oh, to distinguish it from that other common word loose. I may be democratically outvoted here but I think the dictionary still has the casting vote.

When will we see our cellphone implants?

Surly the only winning move is not to play ?

Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess ?

WarGames? Never heard of it, why ?

ok, I guess we are talking about the logic computation only, not actually playing tictactoe, yet then.

so Im not sure its such an achievment, as any switch system can do this if ordered correctly, wow intelligent glass marbles beat kids at tictactoe.. (thats a marble computer if your wondering)

Why are they comparing this to children? It's just a computer so it can't do anything it's not programmed to do. So if it's programmed to win at a game it will always win unless the game is not winnable.

Should they not be comparing this to other logic processors? like how many calculations per second can it perform...

Will AMD or Intel be the first to employ this tech in future processors? ;)

Loose is gonna get my vote any day.

Paris needs no introduction here.

Next up: nano-Eliza. Then everyone can have a real, invisible friend.
