Why not write down the characters and their lives and may be turn that into fiction? Especially if they are so interesting. Then this obsessive day-dreaming becomes an asset rather than a liability?

Brilliant! Wonder how we never thought of that! ;-)

Well, they can quote the most advanced encryption algorithm, but you still can't be sure if they have really used it unless they share their code.

Bottomline: You either trust them or you don't.

One reason for them not sharing the details could be that they want the potential hackers to keep guessing rather than making their life easier (No encrytion is foolproof)

The article makes it sound a big deal to develop J2ME app. This app basically has just 2 screens, so I wouldn't think it would be any big deal to replicate those screens across platforms. Their challenge is more on the server-side, scaling for all the billions of users that they have - again, no big deal for plain text but mostly the pictures and the videos that are shared ...few big datacenters somewhere...again, nothing great. And hey, they dont even support voice calls. I dont buy that the app itself is a deal breaker. It's mostly their user base that they have been paid for.
