Power Point on a phone
Authored by: tiger99 on Thursday, February 28 2013 @ 07:30 AM EST
We had 12.9 gigabytes of PowerPoint slides on our network. And I thought, What a huge waste of corporate productivity. So we banned it. And we've had three unbelievable record-breaking fiscal quarters since we banned PowerPoint. Now, I would argue that every company in the world, if it would just ban PowerPoint, would see their earnings skyrocket. Employees would stand around going, "What do I do? Guess I've got to go to work."
That of course was Scott McNealey, former CEO of Sun.

Powerpoint on a phone is very much worse than on a desktop. A phone is hugely inefficient for normal everyday tasks, which really do need a large screen, keyboard and mouse or trackball etc. Yet you see people who should know much better, such as PHBs, fiddling endlessly with their phones, trying to do basic office tasks. It is going to get worse, very much worse, when they are fiddling about, trying to prepare Powerpoint presentations.

Yet again, M$ are undermining productivity, which is all that any of their vile products has ever done, apart from causing security breaches, data loss, and great annoyance.

Paper Maps on a phone
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, February 28 2013 @ 02:00 PM EST
I'm seeing ads telling me to "Never Buy Another Paper Map",
then I watch the strangers in town fossicking on their four inch
screens at the street corners. To get enough detail at a useful
scale requires scrolling and/or zooming. A tablet may be OK,
but no phone has the usability of a single A4 sheet of paper.
