Deloitte and Touche have released Bullfighter, an application that purports to be a sort of BS detector that operates on MS Word and Powerpoint documents, much like a spell checker or grammer checker. It sounds like I could have a lot of fun with this one around work!

Addendum:  Too bad that the program (both online and offline versions) flagrantly abuse Flash and are covered by a pretty silly EULA, including the following silly clauses:

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, translate, or make any attempt to discover the source code of the Software.

The structure, organization and code of the Software are valuable trade secrets and confidential information of the Company.

So much for having a little fun.  Maybe I should develop a software Bullfighter.  -1 for gratuitous Flash, -1 for letting the lawyers get carried away with the EULA.
