(Episode 259; 16min 17) In the beginning Microsoft created PowerPoint. And the people saw that PowerPoint was good. But then the people performed many presentation sins using their new tool.

In a bid to try to prevent more cardinal sins during presentations Nick Hodge, a professional geek at Microsoft, has posted the Ten Commadments sent to presenters at TEDTalks conferences. You can read them on his blog.

Today on BTalk Phil Dobbie talks to Nick about the commandments. How many of these sins have you been guilty of?

    Don't turn around and look at the screen.
    (Thou shalt not point your nether end at the audience)

    Don't read the slide word for word.
    (Thou shalt not through stupidity or ineptness assume your
    followers are illiterate)
