So the new Apple Iphone has hit the stores, lines started forming in New York four days before the iPhone went on sale with one lady paying the third person in the queue $200 to trade positions with her at position eighty. 

The iPhone costs as much as $599 at Apple’s 164 stores but secondary market places like eBay are already selling them for nearer to four figures but after an expensive search it seems that ebay is the only place you are likely to be able to get one, well for the time being that is.

As we approach the second week of Wimbledon (a grand slam tennis tournament and great place to see celebrity upskirt) it is a shame to see the exit of such a pretty blonde French girl Tatiana Golovin. The 19 year old caused headlines for the wrong reasons earlier this week because she was wearing red panties. Wimbledon operates a strict dress code of white and according to the rules, if the hem-line of the player’s underwear is above or below a certain measure it is okay to be considered underwear.

Tatiana’s red panties were measured and were deemed (by the referee) to be underwear and not shorts. If they had been deemed as shorts then she would have been disqualified (why would she not have been allowed to take them off, well change them?) Yes you are thinking the same as me, I want to be a tennis referee if it means you spend your day measuring the size of tennis players panties!! I am assuming they were measured while still on, can you imagine that as your claim to fame, I am a celebrity panties measurer…

Call it my sick sense of humour but the expression on this kids face as this creature pops its head through the car window is priceless. Actually I think it was an expression of shock, looking at it a second time one has to wonder which creature is actually in shock, both expressions are very much similar.

The humping dog comes straight from Japan, one of the world leaders in completely useless but must have gadgets. The dog plugs straight into your USB socket and away he goes like he’s found a bitch on heat… Don’t expect anything else apart from the novelty factor from this dog, he’s not a flash drive and he doesn’t light up, however he will provide you with hours of fun watching the expressions on strangers faces on the commute to work.

Next time think about where you are standing or what you are standing next to before allowing your picture to be taken for a holiday snap, this is certainly one for the album.

A sobbing Paris Hilton was sent back to jail today. The 26-year-old screamed for her mother at the end of a one hour hearing which ruled she must now complete her full jail term after originally being let out after three days on medical grounds. Hilton sobbed the whole through the hearing in the Los Angeles court, before screaming, “It’s not right!” when she was told by Judge Sauer she would have to return to the Century Regional Detention Facility.

There are a few that feel sorry for Paris, I have even seen an online petition for her fans to sign demanding that she be released and there are those that will feel justice has been done. There are two kinds of people with money, those that have earned it through hard work and those that have inherited. Unfortunately those that inherit money feel that money can buy you everything, it is not until it is taken away for a few days that they realise what a drug it has become.

What is Microsoft Surface? Microsoft Surface™, the first commercially available surface computer from Microsoft Corp., turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface is a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor that’s easy for individuals or small groups to interact with in a way that feels familiar, just like in the real world. In essence, it’s a surface that comes to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more. Soon to be available in restaurants, hotels, retail establishments and public entertainment venues, this experience will transform the way people shop, dine, entertain and live.

How does Surface work?
At a high level, Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and touch. This user input is then processed and the result is displayed on the surface using rear projection.

What is surface computing?
Surface computing is a new way of working with computers that moves beyond the traditional mouse-and-keyboard experience. It is a natural user interface that allows people to interact with digital content the same way they have interacted with everyday items such as photos, paintbrushes and music their entire life: with their hands, with gestures and by putting real-world objects on the surface. Surface computing opens up a whole new category of products for users to interact with.

What are the key attributes of surface computing?
Surface computing has four key attributes:
• Direct interaction. Users can actually “grab” digital information with their hands and interact with content by touch and gesture, without the use of a mouse or keyboard.
• Multi-touch contact. Surface computing recognizes many points of contact simultaneously, not just from one finger, as with a typical touch screen, but up to dozens and dozens of items at once.
• Multi-user experience. The horizontal form factor makes it easy for several people to gather around surface computers together, providing a collaborative, face-to-face computing experience.
• Object recognition. Users can place physical objects on the surface to trigger different types of digital responses, including the transfer of digital content.
How does Surface benefit consumers?
Surface breaks down the traditional barriers between people and technology, providing effortless interaction with digital content. Similar to the way ATMs changed how people got money from the bank, Microsoft is changing the way people will interact with all kinds of everyday content, including photos, music, a virtual concierge and games. Common, everyday tasks become entertaining, enjoyable and engaging, alone or face-to-face with family, friends or co-workers.
