![]() PowerPoint, the king of the presentation software space that virtually everyone reading this has some form of experience with, has been around since the eighties and has always been a part of Microsoft Office. Now, to the list you’ve been waiting for: Presentation Software of 2023 – Office PowerPoint & Real Alternatives The current state of Office PowerPoint To learn more about SlideDog and its other features such as Live Sharing, Audience Interaction and the SlideDog Remote App, check out the features and download the free version. It’s perfect for people who use multiple forms of media in their presentations and a great tool at events where you have multiple presenters. It is a Windows application that lets you switch between various presentation media such as PowerPoint, PDF, Prezi, video and web pages. In short, SlideDog presents your files seamlessly and professionally to the audience at meetings, events, sales presentations, conferences, lectures and more. SlideDog is not a real PowerPoint alternative, and hence not on the list, but we do believe it is a great supplement to all the products that we mention here. And we are going to keep this list up to date. We are going for an opinionated and prioritized list that is comprehensive, but not bloated, and focuses solely on slide creation software that we consider as real alternatives to PowerPoint. Those are categories of their own and deserve their own listings. That means no listing of animation-software like “ Vyond” or “ PowToon”, sales & marketing-software like “ CustomShow” or “ ClearSlide”, and publishing platforms like “ SlideShare (LinkedIn)” or “ SpekerDeck”. On the contrary, this list is going to be about actual slide presentation software. And we are not going to list every “presentation related” software we can find, calling it an alternative regardless if has a totally other purpose and provides less than 1% of PowerPoint’s features. We will not try to list 50+ PowerPoint “alternatives”, bashing Office PowerPoint and claiming it’s dead with no other reason than it being mature, stable and the de-facto slide creation tool for grown-ups. So – What about this list?Īlthough this list, just like our competitors, is made to pique your interest in SlideDog, I hope that we can provide a better, more valuable collection of quality presentation software. Often the information you find in these lists are stale, but is made to seem fresh by a recently updated publish date. This is standard SEO tactics, and that itself is not a problem, but the validity of the content in those kinds of blog posts is seldom checked or updated with new information, especially with large lists having entries in the double digits. They mostly opt in for quantity rather than quality, listing a huge number of superficial descriptions of products and sprinkling buzzwords and industry jargon in between. ![]() To be honest, most of the lists you’ll find in the top results on Google are. Thank you for visiting this page! You probably got here from Google, searching for some presentation software alternatives, right? There are tons of blogs out there, like ours, trying to outdo each other by having the most comprehensive list of certain topics. ![]() See below for a selection of titles that will be rotating off the service in August.

Does Rayman Origins on PC support newer controllers I bought the game on steam, and tried to boot it up with my XBOX series X controller and it doesnt detect it. That being said… who cares? Doesn’t the GamePad Pro sort of render the point moot? If you’re playing an FPS, you either are playing alone and can use the tablet if you like, or playing with friends, in which case the tablet is probably unnecessary. Even then, though, final dev kits only went out last month or so, correct? So it may be a while before we see games supporting 2 tablet controllers (if ever). Now, if tomorrow Nintendo says you can only support one controller, or the games showcased all use only 1 tablet controller, then it may be a safe bet that it only supports one. ![]() After all, more than 1 GamePad tablet controller means more GPU resources, and thus, less in-game graphical prowess. It could very well mean that they just didn’t support more than one controller so that they could free up the GPU to do more graphically impressive things. They said it was an old dev kit, and also, they didn’t outright say “Wii U can’t support more than 1 controller”, they simply stated you could only have player on the controller, eluding to the fact that you can’t have multiple people using the 1 tablet controller, and also that their game(s) only make use of 1 tablet controller. ![]() ![]() Stellar Data Recovery SoftwareĪs far as data recovery software for Windows goes, Stellar Data Recovery doesn’t stand out in any particular way, which is both good and bad. Recoverit Data RecoveryĪlthough Recoverit Data Recovery doesn’t boast almost any additional capabilities, it does offer a decent data recovery performance and support for many file signatures, making it suitable for people who just want to recover their data in the most basic file loss scenario and move on without spending any time on data loss prevention. Unfortunately, it also stands out with its price, since the annual subscription is way more expensive than Disk Drill’s lifetime license. This data recovery software for Windows stands out with its support for over 1,000 file signatures, allowing it to recover even more obscure files (the vendor fails to provide any details on these 1,000 formats, though). You might want to give it a try-just don’t expect too much and remember that far more feature-packed solutions do exist. The free version of Recuva used to be great for addressing more straightforward data loss scenarios because of its unlimited nature, but the lack of attention it has received in recent years from its developers is starting to show - its data recovery features have not been updated since 2016. Unlike its competitors, Disk Drill doesn’t use a subscription pricing model, so you don’t have to pay over and over again to keep using it.

![]() Ralph Fiennes gives a masterful performance as Gun’s attorney, Ben Emmerson. Matthew Goode and Matt Smith are great as Peter Beaumont and Martin Bright respectively. The ensemble cast of this film is excellent, but I particularly enjoy Conleith Hill as Roger Alton, it’s a bit of a cameo role but he steals every scene in which he’s present. It illustrates the all-powerful machine that is government and how that machine can destroy whoever it wants pretty damn easily. It also shows the occasional futility in these efforts as well. Official Secrets is an incredibly smart film that celebrates the whistleblowers of the world. This starts off a rollercoaster of events that eventually lead to Katherine Gun being investigated by the British government. The Observer at that time was in full support of a war, so the editor, Roger Alton (Conleith Hill) was not exactly enthused to have this memo in his possession but knew if the story weren’t presented by them, someone else would get it. who then passes it along to Martin Bright (Matt Smith) at The Observer. So she leaks the memo to an anti-war activist friend of hers who then passes it along to an anti-war journalist Yvonne Ridley (Hattie Morahan). Gun, both in real life and in the film, decides that she can’t leave this information private. It stated that via request of the NSA, the UK should join the US in efforts to essentially bully other countries in the UN to start the war in Iraq. While working for GCHQ in 2003, a disturbing memo went companywide via e-mail. Official Secrets is based on the true-life case of Katherine Gun (played by Keira Knightley), a translator for the Government Communications Headquarters, a UK intelligence agency. She’s repped by Gersh, Dalzell & Beresford Ltd and Principal Entertainment LA.“…via request of the NSA, the UK should join the US in efforts to essentially bully other countries in the UN to start the war in Iraq…” Her upcoming credits include Amazon’s Carnival Row and the feature Official Secrets opposite Keira Knightley, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year. Sony TV, where the company is based, co-produces with ABC Studios.īest known for her role as Ellaria Sand on HBO’s Game of Thrones, Varma recently starred in Netflix original film Close opposite Noomi Rapace. executive produce the pilot adaptation alongside Robinson and Greenspan via Doug Robinson Productions. Steinberg, Tillman, Jackson and his G-Unit Film & Television production company and Wright Jr. Anya’s running for Attorney General and Kate’s championing of Aaron will put them into conflict. She’s a hard-charger with aspirations to reform the prison system and advance her own career in the process. Confident, tough, progressive but pragmatic, Kate is the warden of the Pennsylvania prison where Aaron is incarcerated. The show also will, through the window of his ferocious struggle and his complicated relationship with a progressive female prison warden, Kate (Varma), examine the flaws and challenges in our penal and legal systems. His quest for freedom is driven by his desperate desire to get back to the family he loves and reclaim the life that was stolen from him. Written by Steinberg and directed by George Tillman Jr., the untitled fictional project is a serialized legal and family drama that centers on Aaron (Pinnock), a prisoner who becomes a lawyer, litigating cases for other inmates while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. ![]() And off he went.The opening two days of this year’s Wimbledon tournament has seen notable first-round wins for Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu. It all came together at Wimbledon that year, where Federer claimed his first Grand Slam title at the tournament that always meant the most to him. So then came this concern: Might Federer not quite be as good as he, and others, thought? There were six first-round exits in that span, including at the 2003 French Open. Predicted to be a star from the time he won the Wimbledon junior title as a teenager - a sentiment that only built when he stunned Sampras in the fourth round there in 2001 - it took Federer a little time to get pointed in the right direction: He did not win a quarterfinal match in his first 16 Grand Slam appearances. ![]() We pushed each other, and together we took tennis to new levels.” “We battled fairly, with passion and intensity, and I always tried my best to respect the history of the game. “I was lucky enough to play so many epic matches that I will never forget,” Federer wrote in the section of his goodbye post addressed to his competitors. His contests against Nadal, now 36, and Djokovic, 35, were happenings, tantalizing matchups against a backdrop of differing ways of play and contrasting personalities. He chased the first group, dominated the second, dueled with the third - Nadal, with 22, and Djokovic with 21, eventually surpassed Federer’s Grand Slam total - and set an example for the fourth.Īside from those major trophies won from 2003 to 2018, Federer put together unprecedented stretches of elite play, appearing in 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals (and 18 of 19), along with 23 semifinals and 36 quarterfinals in a row. He was proud of facing - and defeating - stars from an earlier generation (Sampras and Andre Agassi), from his own generation (Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt, Marat Safin), from the next generation (Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka) and from the current crop (Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas). When it came to defining success, Federer cared about longevity as much as anything. But no one has had such a big impact and will continue to have such a big impact.” There will always be someone holding a trophy up. “There will be people who will win more tournaments or will have more Grand Slams. “There won’t be anybody like him,” said Tony Godsick, Federer’s agent since 2005. He returned after left knee surgery in 2016, the first significant absence of his career, and used a larger racket head and a rebuilt backhand to collect his last three Slams. He kept playing, and winning, well past an age that is customary for that sort of thing in tennis, to the point that his two sets of twins - now ages 13 and 8 - eventually were able to be present in courtside guest boxes. He had a special jacket with a gold “15” on it to don right there on Centre Court after winning Wimbledon in 2009 to break Pete Sampras’ men’s mark of 14 career major trophies. He became friends with Vogue editor Anna Wintour and showed up at the Met Gala. “He was the epitome of a champion class, grace, humility, beloved by everyone,” Hall of Famer Chris Evert wrote on Twitter. Once a tantrum-throwing kid - on the court and off, where he would overturn a chess table when losing to his father - who grew up admiring basketball stars such as Michael Jordan and soccer players more than tennis players, Federer became a symbol of his sport and someone known as much for the way he carried himself as the hardware he accumulated. |
