> all if you manage to give me good feedback on how to do a better presentation next time around.
You really should ask the audience that question.
What a web based tool could do is integrate a feedback mechanism, maybe even tied to specific slides. Imagine you are giving the presentation, and I am bored to tears by your slide on profit margins increasing in Q2.
So I open the synchronized viewer app on my phone, and touch the frownie face icon or the icon that says 'zzzz'. Hopefully you will replace the bullets with an animated chart for your next presentation.
"Doug, opinions vary on the necessity or value of tools like JSLint. Consult your team's technical lead for guidance on whether your team chooses to enforce JSLint's strict guidelines."
There was JavaScript (including the good parts) before Douglas Crockford started disseminating his ideas about the language and long before jQuery was released. So it was like a powerful and possibly quite elegant language all along, but it needed to be 'discovered' and 'evangelized'.
With respect to JavaScript, it's like front-end developers are all enlightened today, after living in the dark ages for about 10 years.
It looks like Bing is trying not to clutter the UI with its social features by default:
"Sidebar is the most novel component of the new Bing. It's a mellow, gray sidebar that is closed by default. It shows a thumbnail of your picture and two control icons, and that's it. There's a hint arrow to expand it. When you open Sidebar, it shows you stuff from social networks that's relevant to your search."
"The Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Suite 6, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Creative Suite 5 - 5.5, Adobe Creative Suite 4, and Adobe Creative Suite 3 software. The tool can clean up install records for any pre-release (beta) installations of these Creative Suite products. The Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool is designed to not interfere with existing installations of previous versions of Adobe Creative Suite products; it does, however, allow you to remove them as well, if you so choose to."
What is Instagram was to be the replacement? Can Facebook, with a lot of cash from the IPO, avert the same fate as MySpace buy buying its supposed successors?
Potentially, but the problem becomes that none of these companies will ever make money - you can't stay on the VC treadmill forever, and over time it's going to be harder and harder to monetize 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM USERS'
The other problem is that you can't pick the winner in every horse race. Facebook obviously won this round, but it just as easily could have been Orkut or any other social network that was out there. The traction model is almost certainly chaotic.

It's the same reason why you always end up on "Philosophy" if you're browsing Wikipedia and consistently follow the first link in each article. Here's the path for "Airplane":
Airplane
Fixed wing aircraft
Aircraft
Vehicle
Motion (physics)
Natural science
Science
Knowledge /* we know where this going... */
Fact
Proof (truth)
Argument
Philosophy
I think that website cheats a little bit. The first link in "Science" is not "Knowledge" but "Latin", where it's describing the root of the word "Science". If you follow it properly, you'll find that even the article for "5 Whys" doesn't go to Philosophy:
5 Whys
Technique
Technology
Tool
Goal
Animal
Eukaryote
Organism
Biology
Natural Science
Science
Latin
Italic Languages
Indo-European Languages
Language Family
Language
Human
Taxonomy
Ancient Greek
Greek Language
Indo-European Languages // Infinite loop!
That path seems to go in the same direction, but then it diverges in Science, mostly due to the first sentence on that page, where [Latin] and [knowledge] are links:
> Science (from [Latin] scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes [knowledge]...
It happens again in Taxonomy, which otherwise would surely lead to Philosophy from the [classification] link:
> Taxonomy (from [Greek]: τάξις taxis "arrangement" and Greek: νομία nomia "method"[1]) is the science of identifying and naming species, and arranging them into a [classification].
On our way to Philosophy we are constantly confronted with Latin and Greek concepts, because Rome and Greece are where many of the concepts in Philosophy originated.
I think the wikipedia game specifically excludes words in parenthesis and italics. Following those rules you actually do get to Philosophy, and you also get to Philosophy from Indo-European Languages.
Because in most of those mails it was mission critical that I receive the response. The process grinds to a halt if I don't receive response, irregardless of anyone and anything else. Both Alex and I were tied to the same process and action. The priority of it is unchanged.
I seem to be missing the InstantTimeToEmpty and FullToEmptyTime data. Reading your script, that tells me the values are "None" but not why that is. I'm also apparently 8 minutes from an empty battery, even though it's fully charged. Do you know why this is?

Maybe there already is an app for that?
