The amount of time expended on PowerPoint, the Microsoft presentation program of computer-generated charts, graphs and bullet points, has made it a running joke in the Pentagon and in Iraq and Afghanistan … Despite tales [of endless hours spent making slides], ‘death by PowerPoint,’ the phrase used to describe the numbing sensation that accompanies a 30-slide briefing, seems here to stay.” [NYT]
