Mobius will probably make money in the short term. The management of information is important. But the trend today seems to be moving towards putting everything on host systems -- data and applications -- and accessing them from there. The user only having a relatively dumb terminal. With cryptography, the geographical location of your information is irrelevant when it comes to privacy. Of course denial of service and data destruction is another story. But consumers will likely find the benefits more overcoming. Take the concept of money for example. In a world where information -- please substitute "stuff" where you find it appropriate -- is the new currency, don't you think that people will eventually start using information banks much in the same way people use banks/brokerage houses today to store there money? Of course, you may raise the concern about hackers and information isn't really safe. Masked Hackers on Trojan horseback may be an inconvenience today, but that won't always be the case. One might not be able to put the Genie back in the bottle, but technology and law will likely help control the Genie.
