Chase Manhattan Bank is EVIL.  This week, they tried to charge me $297 due to one overdraft I accidentally made to my account, and the most I could convince them to remove in charges was $136 (they have a $70 credit back limit and I caught them in error on $66 of the overdraft charges).  They still are demanding I give them $161 in fees for what amounted to a single transaction that caused me account to overdraft $106.48.

Goodbye iPhone. Hello Android.


Google Nexus One

Google Nexus One

While not the iPhone killer, I think the Nexus One spells the beginning of the end for any type of SmartPhone dominance by Apple. Check out this consumer survey and how dramatically it changed in 3 months in Android's favor.

The real killer feature of Android 2.1 that this RedEye article failed to mention is that voice-to-text can completely replace typing on the phone altogether... and as far as I know, Apple has no plans to implement this feature any time soon.  Furthermore, while multi-touch isn't available out of the box, the hardware is multi-touch capable.  Because of the high demand, I figure it should will show up in Android 2.2 by the end of summer (knock-on-wood).
