Surface Friend 

A friend or acquaintance whom you know through school/work. He/she is not involved in your personal life and conversations are superficial, almost always relating to school/work.

Nah I don't talk to that classmate about my life, he's just a surface friend.

Surface Warfare Officer 

Easily the largest community of officers in the United States Navy, SWOs drive ships, launch missiles, oversee safety procedures, control the public affairs outlook of ships, plan tactics, conduct safety inspections, make sure the engines are running smoothly, stand watches, maintain weapons caches, ensure smooth power flow, throw everyone around them under a bus so they can sleep and/or get promoted, cry nonstop, attempt to commit suicide but fail because they have absolutely no energy, and much more. Basically, they do everything on a ship with the notable exceptions of: sleep, have free time, and enjoy their life.

Despite the financial, educational, and prestige incentives, the Navy has an extremely difficult time retaining SWOs because their lives suck so badly. It's generally the last choice of designators, filled by people who either have to serve in the Navy because it paid for their college, or lunatics who volunteer to be a SWO and almost immediately regret their decision.

Navy Pilot: Hey guys, wanna go to a bar after work?
Intel Officer: Sure!
SEAL Officer: Sounds like a good idea.
Supply Officer: I'm in.
Public Affairs Officer: Definitely!
Surface Warfare Officer: After work? Work never stops...ever...(cries)

An alternate way of saying the phrase, "smoke and mirrors".

Hey Jake!
Didjya see that magician levitating that car?
It was all just a cigarette & multiple highly-reflective glass or metal surfaces!

Surface 

One who is shallow or only cares of subjects and topics that are light or superficial

She only cares about her makeup and Mtv, she is a little too 'surface' for me.

Microsoft Surface 

Quite possibly the coolest thing Microsoft has created since the Xbox 360 in 2005. It is a tablet with an interface like its sister product Windows 8. The coolest feature is the ability to attach a soft keyboard that doubles as a cover, dubbed Touch Cover, while putting the tablet up on a built-in stand. So it's almost a touchscreen laptop.

Microsoft Surface proves that Microsoft can be a little like Apple, sometimes.
