Someone's down-voted you without explanation, which is rather poor form. Entities in this case means extracting the text of the page - with nokogiri for example, or a variant of readability to get just the article - and then extracting things that are named in that text.
I used a modded version of readability and a simple entity extractor in python on the article and got: 'Sudoku', 'Search', 'Google', 'SRE', 'Stanford', 'Freebase', 'OpenCalais', 'SWE', 'Metaweb', 'MIT', 'Wrong', 'HTML', 'Developer Relations', 'Interest', 'DON', 'True', 'CPU'.
A great introduction to all this is the O'Reilly book Natural Language Processing with Python (free online[1]).

- zwily 15y agoI would have assumed they were asking about HTML entities. Like &, etc.
- nostrademons 15y agoA bunch of people assumed that, but it doesn't make sense given Skud's background at Metaweb and her reference to OpenCalais.
