Byte size news: Quick lie-down? What a planker

What the blank is planking? An Australian man has been arrested for planking - lying flat on your stomach in an unusual place and sharing a photograph of it through social media.
He had chosen to do his planking on a police car. Facebook page Planking Australia has almost 10,000 fans and hundreds of photos of people planking on train tracks, escalators, fire hydrants, motorbikes, and other objects.
The Australian bloke that lucked out with his attempt though has been charged with being on police equipment without lawful excuse. He's lashed out at his local cops saying they overreacted and it was "bloody ridiculous"..

Twitter isn't traditionally for the secretive.
However, that hasn't stopped the US Secret Service from signing up.
The Service has made its debut on Twitter with recruitment as their reason. It has become the latest of a bunch of US Government agencies to sign up to tweet.
"The internet is a valuable resource for people all over the world," said Secret Service assistant director Mickey Nelson. "By using social media sites, we hope to supplement our recruitment efforts, while providing an informative, helpful tool to businesses and individuals who are interested in information from our agency."

Computer face time
When it comes to reading people's faces to find out what hormone disorder they have, computers are winning over doctors. A computer system identified seven out of 10 people in a study who had acromegaly - a rare condition that leads to excessive growth of bones and tissue. Human doctors picked six out of the 10.
The researchers wrote a computer program that analyses facial characteristics, such as the distances between features.
The study's lead author said it was exciting because early detection could give sufferers the chance to seek treatment earlier.
