Harvard Law School professor Charles Nesson on Poker

The professor of poker. This guy rocks and I hope he is able to get the stupid law forbidding online poker in the US. I have always had a dream of developing a online mobile poker solution for the poker enthusiast, to play anytime and anywhere on a cellphone specifically on the Google Android platform.

The major obstacles are not technical ones, many online poker websites exist, but legal ones. I myself have lost $800 from my (now defunct) Netteller account when, with a stroke of a pen our infinitely wise president George W. Bush signed a law to make online poker illegal in the US.
I am sure other people lost much more.
Professor Charles Nesson discusses on the Goolge Tech Talks on Youtube about ways that poker can be used as a powerful tool for teaching core negotiation and business skills.

He is founder of the Global Poker Strategic Thinking Society (GPSTS), an organization focused on developing an academic curriculum using poker as a teaching tool. I am a firm believer that poker can be used to teach important life skills such as game theory, strategic thinking, risk assessment, and money management in an engaging and interactive way.

Even Steven Colbert from the Colbert Report interviewed the professor.

PhoneCash/4Ray

PhoneCash/4Ray, what I like about it.

J2ME, written in Java, object oriented, language at that. They got it running on a nice sexy black Motorola Razor. The interface is simple. I would like to see a developers version of this soon, a top bar menu GUI to do administration and auditing work to the PhoneCash/4Ray application.

Since it is in Java, porting the code to a Java compatable architecture would be the next logical step with this.




Here is a simple overview of how the PhoneCash/4Ray works.


Its simplicity and minimalistic design and the fact that they have developed predefined stored proceedures constrains the window of attack opportunity, for SQL injection attack as well as the user holding the key of authenticity in their crainium, even if the cell unit is compromized it would be usless without the correct pin number. This adds an extra layer of security.

I will post more as I explore this device.

Very cool project, credit cards on mobile devices

This opportunity came to me and I am liking it more and more. I have corresponded with the partners and am testing the device today. This technology goes beyond the conventional mobile pay-point on your cell phone and will take it to a whole new level.
