It's interesting when the shoe is on the other foot for Australian banks. They charge ridiculous fees both to companies and individuals (such as $6 to deposit a cheque, $12 to write a cheque) claiming it's all part of the service they provide and as soon as another company try to charge them they jump up and down complaining. They're just stalling for time and trying to get a free ride. Well done to ANZ for joining Apple Pay and putting customers first for a change.

Doh! I came up with the same idea a while ago, should have patented it first! Although I don't think it was before March 20-6 though. Oh well 😔

Ah yes, the "I am not responsible for my own stupidity" defence. This is like the burglar suing the home owner for tripping over dying a break and enter because they didn't install safety lighting.

Stop the presses and run some of the following headlines: HTC is doomed following blatant oversight. You won't believe what HTC has removed from their new phone. Major fail by tech company. Customers up in arms and deserting HTC in droves.  HTC shares to plummet.

But more likely the press will run something like "HTC embraces brace new world of digital audio. HTC leads the way into digital future. iPhone killer advances Audi technology.  Analogue audio dead, long live HTC. 

...in a follow up statement, Judge Fletcher also paved the way for users to sue Apple for allowing them to install apps from an open marketplace that compromised their devices' security, and damaged their hardware.
