The size and scale of Meebo is always a suprise, but they have massive distribution. See the Meebo bar - http://www.meebo.com/websites/ . They are on some heavily trafficked sites (tmz etc...) where they sell quite a few ads.

That argument doesn't hold much water anymore. I have friends who work at some of the top investment banks - JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank are two of which I know are offering the iPhone as a choice instead of the blackberry. Also, a lawyer

9-5 at an investment bank - Sure it's 4x the money (or was)- but it's 100+ hours of weekly work that in my personal opinion is nowhere near as exciting as creating new technologies.

I used drop.io on occasion - although their free size limit was a little too small. Having unlimited, or as the terms of service say 2gb makes this way more useful.

Seems as though there are very few patterns that repeat themselves in a different fashion. For example - it would be quite easy to solve which word is capitalized - or any of the math or series questions.
