Powerpoint at speed

One of the highlights of this conference for me is Mary Meeker, who leads Morgan Stanley's Global Research team. She has some great and really sound insights into market trends in new media across the world.

However, NO ONE presents as speedily as Mary does. 48 slides in 15 minutes. Phew. Rather than try and take notes as fast as Mary speaks, I’ll shall direct you here. It’s good stuff – go look.

I'm not sure how she'd respond to my boss, Ken MacQuarrie's rule for powerpoint though. Three numbers - 10, 20, 30. Never more than 10 slides, lasting no longer than 20 minutes and never use a font size less than 30. Something of a challenge but a good discipline...
