If you are like me you play poker so when I heard this new allegation about Full Tilt poker I was interested. According to the U.S. prosecutors they claim that Full Tilt poker paid it’s members more that $440 million dollars while they screwed the player by not having sufficient funds to pay the players. They call it a Ponzi scheme, A Ponzi scheme is usually one in which early investors are paid with the money of new clients and it collapses when the funds run out. I don’t see how this can be. I would think they wouldn’t have to resort to this kind of shady bussiness practices. They made enough money with the rake they charged from every hand of poker and tournement that they ran.  Full Tilt even sent out an email explaining how they treated players funds. Here is a sample of that email, “To protect both our players and business from financial problems, all player account funds are segregated and held separately from our operating accounts. Unlike some companies in our industry, we completely understand and accept that your account money belongs to you, not Full Tilt Poker.”

Was reading a news article today about some scientists that developed a way to understand the way dolphins communicate. You can read the whole article here, it is pretty long, but if you don’t want to read it all I can pretty much sum it up for you in a few short sentences. These scientists used some device to pick up the dolphins clicks and whistles and translate thoses sounds into shapes. So the shapes are picked up by the other dolphins and they know what that shape means and so on and so on. Then they go on to suggest that we can create these same picture sounds to talk with the dolphins. I guess it is like an ultrasound. Let’s see what the dolphins have to say to us. They may be surprised when all they have to say is…Fish..Fish Good….
