This Is The Powerpoint From HELL A startup CEO has created the Powerpoint presentation from hell. It has 1,284 slides. And he made it for his 30th birthday. Spotted by ValleyWag, the presentation was created by entrepreneur Ryan Allis to "give back" his accrued life experience and advice in one handy, easy to read collection of optimism, charts and graphs which if it was printed on A4 would have a surface area of eight square kilometers. Understandably the deck -- which is characterised by a certain Silicon Valley-style view of the world -- has been torn apart on social media. On the other hand, Allis is incredibly successful, having sold his own startup for $170 million and served as a national co-chairperson of Technology for Obama. Anyway, the slideshow, titled "Lessons From My 20s", can be read in full below. Some of the highlights include: Advising potential mentor-ees to Fedex letters to their targets, because "important people like opening Fedex packages". Lessons From My 20s - By Ryan Allis

Cardboard Cockpit Lets You Fulfill That Fighter Pilot Dream Watching films like Top Gun it's easy to become jealous at the pilots who spend their days pulling Gs and flinging multi-million pound fighter jets around the skies. Thankfully Lukas Homola feels your pain and has come up with an ingenious solution that lets you create a jet fighter simulator in your living room. The flatpack cockpit is made from hardened cardboard and lets you install a 22-inch screen as an instrument panel along with a range of different gaming joysticks. You can have almost any design printed on the outside while the lightweight cardboard design means you can cut and change out dials as you see fit. Sadly you won't be playing much Elite Dangerous just yet as the project is still on Kickstarter but if you're feeling seriously passionate then you can go and donate.

Elite Dangerous Kickstarter Passes Funding Target The classic video game Elite will be remade after its creator raised more than £1.25 million on the crowd-funding website Kickstarter. Elite was a cult hit in the 1980s thanks to its sprawling open-world gameplay and classic science fiction setting. A landmark for its time, the game has since become known as a true pioneer - though the project to remake it proved trickier than some expected. The proposed new game, 'Elite Dangerous, aims to take the game to a new level of detail and realism with complex space combat, trading and exploration. But Frontier Developments, run by Elite creator David Braben, picked an ambitious fundraising target, and at times it appeared that it might not match it. With four days until its deadline the game still made more than £100,000 to raise. But a late funding drive saw donations pour in on Wednesday, with the game pulling in around £80k in pledges in 24 hours. @DavidBraben David Braben #EliteDangerous has crossed the line!

The Gun Lobby And A Dumb Law Are Keeping Us From Safer Guns Imagine a gun that a person could leave on his or her kitchen counter, without having to worry that someone else would fire it. That gun exists. A so-called "smart gun" uses biometrics or radio signals to stay locked until it's held by its rightful owner. Smart guns could save some of the hundreds of lives -- many of them children's -- lost in accidental shootings every year. And they could reduce the number of shootings committed by criminals with stolen guns. "We see things all the time where guns fall into the wrong hands," San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr told The Huffington Post. Yet thanks to a poorly written gun control law in one state and the efforts of overzealous pro-gun groups -- and in spite of the fact that at least $12.6 million of taxpayer money has been spent researching and developing the technology over the past 20 years -- smart guns are not available for purchase anywhere in America. That's not for lack of trying. Yet availability is an issue.

Artist Turns Old Photos Into Terrifying Haunted GIFS Kevin J Weir is an artist who works with GIFS, whether it's creating moving photographs or turning old paintings into moving landscapes. He's extremely good at what he does and his latest venture might just be his finest yet. Taking old pictures from the Library of Congress Flikr account Weir turned them into haunting 'living' photos that show landscapes and people from the early 1900s. You can see the originals over at his website here or you can check out the gallery below for just a taster of Weir has done. As haunting as they are captivating it's hard not to get sucked into watching them while the artistry involved has to be respected. Weir's previous work includes pieces for Coke Zero as well as the Greenland Tourism board but it goes without saying that these are the pictures that have caught the public's imagination.

The Sinister Ways Governments Make It Dangerous To Protest Online Narrator: We have heard a lot of stories about the impact of the Internet on protest movements. We have heard a lot about the information revolution and how it's transforming countries like China, countries like Iran, even many of the countries in the former Soviet Union, and the assumption so far has been that the Internet is basically a very good thing when it comes to promoting democracy. So, many of these illusions were put together in the mid-nineties by thinkers which I can only call cyberutopians, people who really believed in the transformative power of the web to change societies and to change them for the better. The most famous quote was that, if social networking and blogging was around in the earlier '90s, the genocides in Rwanda wouldn't have happened, which is now very often quoted to illustrate this very naive view that many people had back at the time. And one of the names which pundits have developed this particular views, iPod Liberalism.

Tungsten: The perfect metal for bullets and missiles 11 July 2014Last updated at 19:19 ET By Justin Rowlatt BBC World Service Imagine a lump of iron the size of a tennis ball. Weigh it in your hand. That metal is tungsten. As well as being incredibly dense it is also incredibly hard and has the highest melting point of all the elements - 3,422C. A century or so ago the world had no use for it - it was almost impossible to shape or work the stuff. To understand how this happened, we need to understand the competitive forces that have shaped everything in our world, and where better to start than a mystery at the heart of the evolution of life? For the first four billion years, life didn't actually do much evolving. The Cambrian explosion An extraordinary array of wonderful new organisms appeared. Charles Darwin reckoned what is known as the "Cambrian explosion" was the most powerful objection to his theory of natural selection. So what could have caused it? Or how about teeth? And that's not all. Biologists call the process co-evolution.

Molten metal batteries aimed at the grid 21 September 2014Last updated at 13:50 ET By Jonathan Webb Science reporter, BBC News The battery runs at 450C so its workings are impossible to photograph; this room-temperature mock-up uses mercury (bottom) and steel foam instead of hot, liquid metals Engineers in the US have invented a battery, made of three molten metals, which could help smooth the power supply from renewable energy sources. Previous battery designs have largely been too expensive to help store energy on the scale of a national power grid. The new liquid battery has a negative electrode made of lead, which is cheap and melts easily, mixed with a dash of antimony to boost performance. This lowers its cost, as well as the heat required to liquefy the metals. Published in the journal Nature, this latest attempt at a scalable solution for storing electricity is set for commercial demonstrations within a year and has been greeted with enthusiasm by engineers in the UK.

Banks Dreading Computer Hacks Call for Cyber War Council Wall Street’s biggest trade group has proposed a government-industry cyber war council to stave off terrorist attacks that could trigger financial panic by temporarily wiping out account balances, according to an internal document. The proposal by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, known as Sifma, calls for a committee of executives and deputy-level representatives from at least eight U.S. agencies including the Treasury Department, the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, all led by a senior White House official. The trade association also reveals in the document that Sifma has retained former NSA director Keith Alexander to “facilitate” the joint effort with the government. Alexander, in turn, has brought in Michael Chertoff, the former U.S. More on Cybersecurity: The trade association also reveals in the document that Sifma has retained former NSA director Keith Alexander to “facilitate” the joint effort with the government.
