Can any more blatant violation of the United States Constitution have occurred in it’s history as the passing of the 90% tax against bonuses? I’m no expert on the law but in my opinion the answer is no. It’s an outrageous act! I can only wonder where the Constitution will be ignored next or who will be targeted next.
I’m not defending AIG. The bonuses should not go out. In fact, I don’t really understand why some of those people are even still employed. But AIG is not the only one culpable in this fiasco. And I fear this will not be the last case of impropriety we will learn of. Either by a company receiving government funds or by the government wasting tax payer money.

My new favorite iPod Touch app is Files from OliveToast Software. I have always wanted to use my iPod Touch as a mobile storage device. This app allows you to connect to the iPhone or Touch as a WebDav server and copy files and folders to it. Super easy to use and very convenient on my under used 16GB iPod Touch.
The Files app allows for viewing on the screen of a wide range of file formats including Office documents, PDF, RTF and RTFD documents, images, text, html, movie and audio files. Images can be viewed in a similar fashion to Apples Photo app for iPhoto and includes a nice slideshow feature. And audio files can be played as well. Basically allowing you to load files and folders without using iTunes!
So far, it’s the best $7.00 I’ve spent on apps for the iPod Touch.
