I sort of hope the banking Kishsaver fiasco wins, just so that an award is presented to that bank president. The "WTF" face he'll make will be priceless.
"Sir! Your actions have annoyed a group of keyboard hobbyists. They're vowing never to do business with your bank again. Most of them, however, are in Europe. THey have presented you with an award for your 'insolence towards classic hardware'."
