Comment on Agile Deals Thoughtworks a 21 by Jitendra

Agile gambling — I like it!

For those suitably inclined, I offer the following bet (from Statistics Hacks, by Bruce Fry, p.183). Just email me if you want to play. Here’s the bet.

You have a deck of cards, I have a deck of cards. We each shuffle our decks throughly. Now we lay out our cards one at a time – one from your deck, one from my deck. I bet that at least one pair will match exactly — for example, I put down a Queen of Hearts and so do you.

Any takers?

Comment on The iPhone is Changing the Face of IT by Jitendra

“AT&T Inc., Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile USA are exploring a joint venture to develop a mobile-payment service that uses cellphones, people familiar with the matter said Monday, seeking to break in to what is expected to be a fast-growing market.”

As IT becomes more ubiquitous, it hurts more when it’s not working as it should. It becomes a personal affront (as you’ve no doubt experienced even when the power goes off for just 5 minutes ).

Nice article! Internet smartphones are nothing new – two out of three mobile phones could access online banking before the iPhone arrived. But few people bothered to use them for this purpose. Perhaps it was the small screens, data download fees or the fact the online functions were simply too hard to use. Whatever the reason, banking was much easier on a laptop or desktop computer. The iPhone is changing all that!
