Decision-thinking is not unlike poker(撲克)—it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think．The mental process is similar．Naturally，this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are，by any standards，good thinkers．
The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory．In particular，he showed that all games fall into two classes：there are what he called games of  ‘perfect information’, games like chess where the players can’t hide anything or play tricks：they don’t win by chance，but by means of logic and skills．Then there are games of ‘imperfect information’, 1ike poker，in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another．
One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information．Quite the reverse．Business，politics，life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information．Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors which would even puzzle best poker players．But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance，and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess，not poker．

Ten Chinese PhD students are demanding that Beijing Normal University Professor Yu Dan be away from her television show on CCTV10. They argue that her on-air explanations of Confucius’s Analects (孔子《論語》) are “incorrect and misleading”. 
Yu is known for explaining Confucius’s Analects to a TV audience. But some complain that her explanations are unfaithful to Chinese tradition. 
But Yu doesn’t seem to worry too much about her critics, saying, “It’s a matter of personal choice. Some like KFC, while others like McDonalds.”
  
   STEALING some online gamer’s password might seem less harmful than credit card theft. It does keep the victim from wearing himself out all night playing. But it is not all that nice, says 19-year-old Zhang Qiwen, in Shanghai. 
   Last August, Zhang accidentally downloaded a Trojan while playing Warcraft. The Trojan is a type of virus used by hackers to steal people’s passwords. Overnight the Trojan transferred all the “gold” (game credits) from Zhang’s private account to an unknown account. Zhang hopes the police will find and punish the thief, who can also pocket some cash since the stolen “gold” can go on sale online.
