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.

Britney Spears never seems to remain out of the tabloids, unfortunately for her most of the publicity is bad publicity although some would say all publicity is good publicity? I found this cruel but funny Britney Spear’s tribute singer, watch and enjoy.

I have used plumbers and tradesmen in the past and one thing they seem to lack is a sense of humor, does it come with the skill that they develop and that look that says “this is going to be expensive but I can do you a favor”… This guy certainly looks like one I would call if I had a problem..

Speaking to several other people from all walks of life, I have compiled a top ten “I wish they would invent that list” and here it is.
