In the 30 second attention I was going to give, 20 seconds was spent on registering. And then 10s to figure our if there is any demo or any sort.

I couldn't find anything easy to find. I give up. Website is too slow too. And everything shows classic big corp red tapism.

That's odd, I see big links to live demos on each of the services, and no one asks you to register for anything?

For example, click on "view a live demo" here: http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/developercl...

You don't have to register to see the docs and the demos. Every demo is 2 clicks away from the front page. Registering is free but necessary, as for every other Paas to create your own app. Tell us where is the "big corp red tape" and we'll take it out. We are trying to make the experience as streamlined as possible.

First off, sorry I was rude yesterday. I tried three different demos and all of them were asking for either FB login or something and got annoyed I couldn't try it.

Few questions. I am interested in question and answer service. Is there any related demo ? Specifically, a pre-trained knowledge base. Even better if you can allow anyone to ingest a knowledge into your cloud, train and have it running.

Likely something else going on with your browser.. Demos have no logins whatsoever...
