Straight flush : the true story of six college kids who dealt their way to a billion-dollar empire--and how it all came crashing down / by Mezrich, Ben,1969-(CARDINAL)343288;
Based on extensive insider interviews and participation, author Ben Mezrich's Straight Flush tells the rags-to-riches tale of a group of University of Montana frat brothers who turned a weekly poker game in the basement of a local dive bar into AbsolutePoker.com, one of the largest online companies in the world. At its height, Absolute Poker was an online empire earning more than a million dollars a day, following savvy business strategy and even better luck. Its founders set up their operations in the exotic jungle paradise of Costa Rica, embracing an outrageous lifestyle of girls, parties, and money. Meanwhile, the gray area of U.S. and international law in which the company operated was becoming a lot more risky, and soon the U.S. Department of Justice had placed a bull's-eye on Absolute Poker. Should they fold--or double down and ride their hot hand? This is a look behind the headlines of one of the wildest business stories of the past decade.--From publisher description.

Unwired : gaining control over addictive technologies / by Bernstein, Gaia,author.(CARDINAL)867104;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 183-224) and index.Becoming the choice-makers -- Addiction, our children, our bonds -- Invisible chains -- Clouds of smoke -- The food wars -- The privacy phoenix -- Lessons from battling titans -- The art of redesign -- The tools of awareness -- The ground is burning -- The Achilles heel -- Acupuncture for change."Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can't help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help-measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. It describes a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls. Groundbreaking and urgent, Unwired provides a blueprint to develop this movement for change, to one that will allow us to finally gain control"--
