When I'm doing a presentation, especially one that involves demonstrations of software, I often use Magnify to zoom in on a portion of the screen.

In one of final presentations as Microsoft chairman, Gates indicated that one of the biggest bets they are making is that People will increasingly interact with computers using speech or touch screens rather than keyboards - see USA Today article . There are certainly advantages to that bet (one of the primary ones being the speed at which people will be able to interact with computers). I think the 5 year timeline may be pushing it. This concept is not new, yet mainstream use has still not been realized...but I guess if you have a couple billion dollars to throw at R&D you ...

Interesting and quite ironic post that asks - Is Jimmy Wales Worth $300? - Jimmy Wales is the founder of Wikipedia and his talk is "Challenging how knowledge is created." It is ironic to be asking whether his talk is worth money?

Developing high-value content that advances your business strategy and tactics presents two key challenges. The first challenge is to determine what existing content provides the greatest value and, just as important, what does not provide value.

Tom Kuhlmann's excellent Rapid e-Learning Blog attempts to capture What everybody ought to know about PowerPoint in one posting, and makes a good start. I agree fundamentally with Tom that PowerPoint is not an evil - it is a highly versatile tool that is more often than not used very poorly.

We all are - we accept endless bullet point slides as an inevitability, as a fact-of-life. We don't have the courage to break the mould.
