Delivering Great Presentations like Steve Jobs

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 11:45 PM PST

With the announcement of Apple iPad just behind us, it's time to look at the legend behind Apple's meteoric success, CEO Steve Jobs and his captivating presentations. What is the secret to this man's success?

Well, beyond the obvious hard work, practice, and attention to detail to each and every one of his slides and keynotes, there are some recurring habits that Jobs uses to make his presentations that much more captivating.

Those who want to find out more about how this amazing man delivers his product presentations can check out his famous speech delivered to students at Stanford.

The way he presents is very simple, using minimum text, almost NO bullet points, minimal jargon (except where necessary, like the spec sheets) and powerful phrases like "the world's thinnest laptop" when revealing the Macbook Air.

Here is some information on the methods and techniques that make Steve Job's presentation so exciting and charming. He has even been described as being able to project a "Reality Distortion Field" during his keynotes, allowing people to get excited over things that, in retrospect, aren't that interesting and can even be downright problematic, such as the absence of a CD-rom or USB port in the Macbook Air.

Steve Job's make great use of numbers in his keynotes, as it is a simple and powerful way of conveying information to ordinary people. Although he seems to have lost a lot of weight due to a fight with cancer, it appears that if the recent iPad indicated anything, its that he will be around for a while longer to sell us more expensive money-sucking toys.

EA 2010 FIFA World Cup set to Blaze the World

 

It's World Cup year again! Four years down the road after Italy secured victory over France in a dramatic match played in Germany, it's time for a new campaign of football fever and delights, this time in South Africa!

Nevertheless, before the actual tournament kicks off in June this year, you will be pleased to know that we can experience the interactive adaptation of this awaited tournament two months before the World Cup kicks off in South Africa on the 11th of June.

The Game

I am talking about none other than Electronic Arts' famed football series, the 2010 FIFA World Cup game that would be available on Sony's PS3 and PSP, the Xbox 360, Nintendo's Wii (in addition to mobile and computer platforms as well).

Date of release is currently set on the 27 April 2010. But keep your fingers crossed for an earlier release as demand mounts!

What's New?

Improvements this time include enhancements on location information (for example players would tire faster when the pitch is at higher altitude as well as teams perform better on home soil), as well as an increase in the number of nations taking part in the game (199 in total from qualification matches).

Several other visual (red female fans in the crowd, players on the bench, improved lighting, fan emotions display etc) and game-play (read improved players, more variety of skills and tactics, quick free kick taking abilities, etc) enhancements can also be anticipated, so brace yourself for an all-new, outstanding version of EA Sports' 2010 FIFA World Cup game that would serve as an excellent appetizer before the real tournament gets underway!

Best Torrent Uploader And Rippers [Vote] The HTC HD2 with its Excellent Hardware but Archaic Operating System   I could not help myself from being impressed with the HTC HD2. Why? Because the combination of its physical attributes is truly exceptional Almost like a smartphone for $200 and a two-year subscription from T-Mobile. But I was somehow dismayed when I discovered that it has but an obsolete OS, the Windows Mobile 6.5 which cannot be upgraded with the WinMo 7 once it's out. Stunning Design Nevertheless, the minimalist design is really exceptional. Stainless steel, soft black rubber body, very chic appearance though it's a little larger than most smartphones (4.7 x 2.6 x .4 inches). This slightly bigger built is accounted to accommodate the 480 by 800 pixel resolution in its 4.3 inches WVGA screen (responsive but sluggish on the average). Beneat...

Free Antivirus Software for Mac – Review Review: Whole New World of Sony Free Realms MMO Game [Massive-Multiplayer Online] Several friends introduced me to the world of MMO or massive-multiplayer online games. I had no idea that there were a lot of options for in-game purchases for these online games. Some offer monthly subscriptions, pay-per-play, and free-to-play. These MMO games offer a wide array of games from older ones like the ever popular World of Warcraft to new releases like Warhammer Online. But when you look at these games, most of them cater to much older players. This is why Sony created the kid-friendly MMO Free Realms. My Sony Free Realms MMO Review I tried the games for myself. The graphics were rather impressive. I became int...
