Peninsula Plays In Snow That Fell Overnight

Light snow covered parts of the South Bay and the Peninsula...

SF BAY AREA -- While San Francisco only got a light dusting of snow in some Parts, its neighbors to the south got the real deal, with enough to build snowmen or even chuck a snowball at an unsuspecting passerby.

Record low temperatures combined with rain overnight to create snow throughout the Bay Area at elevations as low as a few hundred feet Saturday, including in San Francisco's Twin Peaks and Merced Heights neighborhood, National Weather Service Chris Stumpf said.

While most of that snow has since melted, some neighborhoods on the Peninsula at higher elevation still looked white this afternoon.

Sam Ostrander, an employee at Alice's Restaurant on Skyline Boulevard in Woodside, said it looked "really snowy still" this afternoon, with snow still covering the ground and treetops and roofs of nearby homes and businesses.

Ostrander said she saw many people building snowmen on the sides of the road this morning.

Forget about Comcast Shaking Up Speed Tiers (Again) South Korea Pushes For 1 Gbps For All

Already among the world's most connected countries, South Korea's government is making plans to every every home in the country connected at speeds of 1 Gbps by the end of 2012. The country is currently conducting a pilot program involving 1,500 households in five South Korean cities getting 1 Gbps service for about 30,000 won, or less than $27 a month. According to OECD data, South Korea already ranks between second and third on the list of the world's speediest countries, with most South Koreans currently paying about $38 for connections around 100 Mbps. Compact geography and multi-tenant living makes moving to 1 Gbps obviously easier than it would be in larger countries, with the elimination of last-generation DSL being among the top priorities.

With 1 Gbps Speeds. This make ATT U-Verse Top Tier Internet speed like 300baud!

A Comprehensive History of Computers [Infographic]

Lets sit back and think about what life was like before computers were everywhere. You actually had to send letters via the postal service, go to stores to buy things, and actually visit Uncle Larry at his house instead of at the prison where he is serving time for a hard drive full of illegal images. Any way, even though a mostly computerless world wasn’t that long ago it really is hard to explain to some of the younger generation what a pain it really was. So in honor of the great technology we use everyday I present to you ‘Computers – A Chronological Timeline’. Enjoy!

Storm brings snow to Bay Area peaks

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- An unusual flurry of snow hit the Bay Area's highest peaks on Friday night. It snowed in Berkeley and at Grizzly Peak. The snow began coming down to elevation levels just under 1,800 feet. It also snowed at Mt. Tamalpais in the North Bay and on Mt. Diablo in the east Bay.

With the cold temperatures dipping in some areas to 37 degrees, the danger of black ice beginning to form became another hazard drivers had to watch out for Friday night and early Saturday morning.

On Friday at the Saratoga Gap it had been raining all day long, so people drove up, looking for snow and they were not disappointed. At the intersection of Highway 9 and 35, snow lovers were able to make snowballs and small snowmen out of the amount of snow that fell. It was also cold enough that it didn't melt that quickly so a lot of parents brought their kids to play in the icy mix.

In Marin County, the snow steadily fell atop Mt. Tamalpais. The light dusting started at around 2 p.m. Friday, but by around 5 p.m. the snow was coming down at a steady pace so that several inches accumulated. People made the trek to check it out.

IBM researchers show love for 'Jeopardy' champion Watson

SAN JOSE, Calif.--I'm going to just come out and admit it--I was rooting for the humans.

By "humans," of course, I mean Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, two men who on the one hand are the greatest champions in the history of "Jeopardy" and who on the other just ended up getting their butts handed to them at the game by a computer that didn't even seem to know that Toronto isn't in the United States.

In case you were somehow in a cabin in the mountains with no Internet access and no TV over the last few weeks and don't know what I'm talking about, I'm referring of course to the latest IBM Grand Challenge--Big Blue's development of a supercomputer known as Watson that was intended to be able to beat the world's best "Jeopardy" players at a game centered around one of the biggest problems in computing: understanding and parsing natural language.

Over the last three days, Watson's battle against Jennings and Rutter played out on national TV in a two-game match. May the best, er, man win.

Though I wasn't able to be in the room at IBM Research in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., when the matches were played last month, I did get invited to the final night party this evening at IBM's Almaden Research Center here, and let me tell you, though I was in a roomful of actual human beings, not many of them shared my preference for a contestant with DNA. These folks were definitely in Watson's corner, tinny text-to-speech voice and all.

In the end, they all got the last laugh. As you've no doubt heard by now, Watson out and out dominated Jennings and Rutter, finishing the two games with a total of $77,147, more than the two humans' $24,000 (Jennings) and $21,600 (Rutter) combined.

So I guess Jennings' tongue-in-cheek comment "I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords," which he wrote along with his Final Jeopardy question, was somewhat appropriate.

Wayne Rooney's Bicycle Kick Goal Is Greatest Of His Career

LONDON (AP) -- Wayne Rooney said it was the best goal he's scored and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson called it the greatest strike he's seen in 25 years at Old Trafford.
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart didn't even move.
Rooney used a spectacular bicycle kick with his back to the goal for the 2-1 win over rival Man City.
The United and England striker leaped to meet a right-wing cross with an overhead strike that flew into the top corner after 77 minutes.
"I saw it coming over and I thought why not? Nine times out of 10 they go into the stand," Rooney told Sky Sports.
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, who sat out the game with an injury, posted his reaction on Twitter.
Story continues below "Wow....what a goal by ROOOOOOONEY!!! What a way to win the derby!!" he tweeted, before adding: "That bicycle kick was one dirty strike...POW...what a strike what a goal what a netbuster!!"
Even golfers Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy, playing in the Dubai Desert Classic, commented. McIlroy simply tweeted; "BOOM!!!!!!!!"
Ferguson said the quality of the strike reminded him of United great Denis Law, who scored 171 goals in his stellar career at the club.
"It was stunning," Ferguson said. "We've had some fantastic goals here but in terms of execution ... you'll never see that."
