Matt Halpern gave a talk for the HCI Student Speakers Series on prototyping user interfaces in Adobe Photoshop. It was a great talk with lessons for beginners and experts a like. Matt didn't use powerpoint but you can download his sample files.
Dr. Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google spoke at CMU today. His talk was at a pretty high level (he is the CEO after all), but when people asked specifics he seemed knowledgeable. My favorite part was when he told us Google's corporate mission, "Not to be evil." He seemed like a good guy, very down to earth (he had no problem telling someone their suggestion was a bad one (it was)), strong business sense, and geeky. I think Google is in good hands.
