Heck, if I had the kind of shekels to rub together, I might just get one:

There's some irony in DiCaprio getting behind a "virtually unhackable" phone. Considering Titanic, I mean.

I bet its creator knows how to hack it. I bet its creator is going to create a private spank bank featuring all the videos and pics all the celebrities store on the phone. It's the virtual version of building secret passageways into your apartment complex.

Whatever the case, I expect Dalty to give us a full report once he has one of these phones in his possession.

Just one? Why buy one when you can have two at twice the price?

He should buy up all the phones and only use one of them. Just because he can.

Of vague relation:

I'm told that Steven Seagal, who once had (and may still have) a mansion in Memphis, used to buy out all the seats for a particular screen whenever he decided to go see a movie in Memphis. This comes to me from Felt Pelt, who used to be a projectionist in Memphis.

The only way it's unhackable is if it's completely unconnected to anything, in which case about as much use as a bacon sandwich at a Bar Mitzvah buffet.
