EDITOR'S NOTE

Happy Friday,

Australia is in the firing line of U.S. lobbyists attempting to adapt a new trade agreement with Asia-Pacific nations which includes tougher IP laws than those agreed under ACTA.

Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs customers share what they've been told about Facebook's finances and we look at the weird and wonderful gizmos on show at CES.

I would also like to share with you the closer I would have preferred in my story on Optus' decision to cover the costs of 24-month warranties on iPhone plans.

"Apple declined to comment, choosing instead to recoil into a dark corner to count its cash."

You can perhaps understand why this line was removed during sub-editing.

-- Brett Winterford

FEATURED COMMENT
