We were originally supposed to see a "
limited rollout" of
Surface in 2007 at various Harrah's casino properties, which obviously didn't happen -- but despite the delays, Microsoft is apparently now feeling confident enough in the tech to let B- and C-list celebrities grope at it during the 2008 National Heads-Up Poker Championship Drawing Party at Caesar's Palace. Unlike the standard demos we saw at
CES which involved relentlessly upbeat hipster presenters doing things like making custom snowboard designs, the motley crew at Caesar's was apparently only allowed to crudely write their names on photographs of themselves. You can almost see the joy in Jason Alexander's face, can't you? Sadly, it looks like Don Cheadle wasn't able to erase whatever's printed on his jacket (seriously, uh,
cool jacket, Cheadle) and poor Shannon Elizabeth didn't seem to be able make anything happen at all. Maybe Microsoft should have fired up that
Hungry Hungry Hippos clone and let these fools battle out instead. All the photos at the read link for the crazed VH-1 fans in the house.

Don cheadle writing on Surface: Sure face.
Nilay dude, get a clue, Oscar nominations surely get you on the A-list if not what??
Look at the photo slideshow. The captions say the Gabe Kaplan in "Sam Grizzle"
Mr. Kotter NEVER gets any respect! Those DAMN Sweat Hogs!
Man you guys freak out over calling someone "b-list". It's like someone said "yo momma so fat...".
So what is A-List versus B-List? To me an A-list actor is someone who gets their name listed in bigger print than the movie title. It's all about popularity and marketability, and nothing to do with acting ability.
But that's just me. I did a search online and found nothing defining these terms or explaining the differences. It seems to have all the basis in reality (and maturity) as which group of friends you sit with in the junior high lunchroom. I'm sure there's mulitple circles certain they are the "A" group while the table next to them is the "B" group.
