PowerPoint is an incredibly powerful tool, like nuclear energy. In the right hands, it can brighten the world and advance our society. In the wrong hands, it will bring about our mutually assured boredom and condemn our grandchildren to work in a post-presentation-apocalypse wasteland. It should be handled with

I loved the smell of my lunchbox. It always smelt so nice from the various sandwiches I ate. I was just looking at my dull boring igloo lunchbox. So...lame. I want a metal one.

@NerD:blogOtaku: Agreed. I think this guy is not enraged with the word "replayability." More likely, he is enraged with the word "celibacy." He might suffer from having been verbally "castrated" by the "castigation" of the opposite sex.

@Vidit: Right, but 1080P Streaming with 5.1 Sound isn't 10 years away. It's maybe 2 years away.

@Jimmy From The Block: I can't think of any video game that requires the storage capacity of a blu-ray disk. XBox Live has had full downloadable games for quite some time now and so has Steam and other PC game sites. Downloading and Streaming are where digital media is headed.

@SKiTz: They've been trying to sell the "We'll run out of food" line since the 70s.

@Vidit: Haven't you ever watched Netlfix HD? It's quite good. Not quite blu-ray quality, but good enough. Streaming is where it's at, and it's a lot closer than you think.

@Dartimous: Explain that to the reader's arguing for more gun control over this.

@WookieLifeDay: I agree. If you've read the book, then you understand that Vic created a new being with a soul. He did not just re-animate a dead body.

@midnightdsob: I'm not arguing against reporting the incident. I'm arguing for an accurate reporting of it. Certainly, drunk townies with guns might be shooting the cables, but there isn't a lot of proof given to support that claim other than it happens during hunting season. I dislike seeing unconfirmed speculations

@strideo: It certainly is possible that hunters are shooting the cables. We have no real proof though, just speculation. Fortunately, convincing evidence is required to convict someone of a crime in the U.S., not speculation and hearsay. The accurate title should be: "Suspected Vandals Might Be Destroying Cables."

@Kai Kadgien: Pigs are good for food. Let's use something nobody will miss, like a box of cats.

Dear Gizmodo:

Does he have a Chupacabra?

Maybe if people just took 30 minutes to learn how to give a proper presentation, they might not hate PowerPoint so much. PowerPoint's problem is not the software, but the user.
