Breakfast briefing: Survey suggests 12% of people fall for spam

• We all scoff at the spam email that drops into our inboxes, and wonder how anyone ever falls for it - but a survey has suggested that around one in eight people has actually tried to buy something from a spam email. Really. Ars Technica has the lowdown on what it calls our "secret shame".

• Bill Gates says that Project Natal - Microsoft's forthcoming gesture control system for the Xbox 360 will also be coming to Windows, according to CNet.

• Thursday, as always, is the day a brand-spanking new copy of Technology Guardian hits the streets. Your newsagent can supply you with a selection of features looking at how augmented reality - a pipedream for so long - is now drawing closer, Jack analyses the prospects for the new, web-enabled Office 2010 while Bruce Schneier argues that Facebook should be pushing privacy as a competitive advantage over its rivals. All that and more in this week's Technology Guardian.
