Power Point on a phone
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, February 28 2013 @ 08:00 AM EST
Where I worked we had a phrase: "Death by Power Point." I'm
sure it is familiar to others too. More people burnt up time
preparing PP presentations than doing actual work that would
actually result in progress on a project.

M$'s whole philosophy must be "Make them stupid!" It makes
sense too because that is the only way M$ can stay ahead in
the world.

Power Point on a phone
Authored by: DannyB on Thursday, February 28 2013 @ 08:37 AM EST
A few things about PowerPoint. (Ignore the graphic, see the text.)
A word about PowerPoint. PowerPoint was released by Microsoft in 1990 as a way to euthanize cattle using a method less cruel than hitting them over the head with iron mallets. After PETA successfully argued in court that PowerPoint actually was more cruel than iron mallets, the program was adopted by corporations for slide show presentations.

Conducting a PowerPoint presentation is a lot like smoking a cigar. Only the person doing it likes it. The people around him want to hit him with a chair.

PowerPoint is usually restricted to conference rooms where the doors are locked from the outside. It is, therefore, considered unsuited for large rallies, where people have a means of escape and where the purpose is to energize rather than daze.
Consiodering this, it makes perfectly good sense to put power point on the tiny screen of a phone to enable the preparation of content free slides.

What? Microsoft undermining productivity? Surely you jest.

Tablet maybe, not a phone.

I think it would be useful to make edits from a tablet while
you're at lunch or on a plane - places you don't normally get
anything productive done but have the capability of getting a
couple of minor nits out of the way. Then you don't have to
worry about them later. But marketing it as a way to get major
work done is just silly.

IANAL
