Bravo to T-Enterprise for creating this viral game based on the Thierry Henry handball scandal even faster than by its usual topical standards.
To play Hand of Henry, simply use the up arrow on your keyboard to help Thierry knock the ball into the goal with his hand. Just don't touch it when the ref is looking!
The more goals you score, the more points you accumulate and the higher up the scoreboard you go!
The latest videos in Microsoft's Windows 7 advertising campaign feature the ever-changing female pop group Sugababes.
In one commercial, the girls from the band - currently Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen - discuss the benefits of the Parental Control feature in the operating system, while in another they design a birthday card, or something.
The series of ads looks like it was shot in less than five minutes using somebody's mobile phone, but the ladies' infectious enthusiasm for Windows 7 is sure to persuade you to upgrade.
Cleverly, the next Sugababes album - their seventh, which will be released in March 2010 - will be called Sweet 7, so it all ties in, y'see.
"I'm a PC and we're the Sugababes!". And, just like Windows, there'll be another version along in a couple of years.

Paddy Power responds to Thierry Henry handball
With Ireland out of the 2010 World Cup, thanks to the controversial Thierry Henry handball in its match against France, Paddy Power is concerned that all Irish bets for the tournament are off.
In the first episode of Working with Paddy, the bookmaker comes up with an ingenious solution – hire someone to fill in for the boss so he can go to France and chop the striker's hands off.
We're not quite sure how that will help the situation, but still...
There are loads of websites that now offer to pay you for your old jewellery, including Cash For Your Gold, Your Gold For Cash and Cash Your Gold Now.
But Cats for Gold is the first service we've come across that gives you moggy rather than money for those unwanted rings, necklaces and bracelets.
Simply fill out the forms, send in your gold and it will be melted down to 100 per cent pure feline and sent to your door in purrfect condition.
We particularly like the slogans on the site: "turn your glitter into litter!" and "lose the treasure, get the Cheshire!".
Visit Cats for Gold (thanks to Urlesque for drawing the site to our attention).
Like a more scientific version of the website Hot or Not, the new iPhone app Fit or Fugly lets you determine how handsome or pretty you, your friends or your colleagues are.
The app apparently uses 'Fibonacci's golden ratio' to calculate whether a face in a photo is attractive or ugly based on the symmetry of key features such as eyes, ears, chin, nose and mouth. It will then tell you whether the person is 'fit' or 'fugly' (a word surely only used by Perez Hilton).



The British creator of Fit or Fugly, Ed Nash, cheekily suggests that the app could be used to "break the ice at parties, liven up a dull day at work or school...and support your rationale for ending a relationship"!
You can buy Fit or Fugly for 59p from the iTunes App Store.
