EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,
We have a strong line up of stories today.
We have two great pieces on the iPad - one that tears the device apart to look at its individual components, another that laments what components are missing.
We can also reveal that the Federal Department of Finance has opened up social networking sites to its staff, that telecommunications bill shock has forced a shift in the ombudsman's policy, and a new innovation that promises better software development for multi-core chip systems.
