    Hmm, interesting. I recall many tablets already on the market when the iPad came out. Perhaps you should pay more attention to the world around you.

    But, the Germans were not the only nation on the Axis side.

    Could Russia have fought a three front war had the US stayed out and Britain fallen?

    Actually, to most of those, yes, they in fact have.

    invaded countries which didn't attack them

    Why yes, China has invaded other countries, such as the current slow invasion of the Philippians and Vietnam, and Japan, or the old in support of North Korea, though I will give you Vietnam, as the US was supporting the rebels in that war. Russia most assuredly has as they are currently occupying parts of Georgia and Ukraine and are currently invading Syria. Where in the world these countries are matters very little, it just makes the invasion easier.

    provided dictators with money and dual-use tech

    Snipped chemical as it matters little. Wouldn't this be kind of the Cuban missile crisis in a word, or Iran's current nuclear program? Or North Korea, or Vietnam, for China?

    The whole point being made is that we have to consider every country that has nukes before trying to get any one of them to disarm, yet you seem to think everyone but the US is a saint, which they definitely are not.

    America was also face to face with the army that had won the largest war in history.

    Somehow that isn't quite what I heard in history class. It seems that no one won the war on their own. If the US and Austrailia weren't pounding Japan into dust, the US and Britain pounding Italy into dust (mostly in Africa), and the US and Britain pounding on Germany, how long would Russia have survived?

    Name one time that the US did that. Do the homework, I expect links.

    If you are referencing Iraq, that is laughable. Before the Iraq war, there were sanctions preventing Iraq from selling their oil, all we had to do to access those natural resources was to relieve the sanctions and they would have sold to us at any price.

    Bush/Cheney on Iraq, Hollander on Libya, or Obama on Syria

    One of these things is not like the other. Not that I support Obama in many things, but Syria is the way it is because Obama refused to interfere. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The US has this habit of responding to every cry for help, then getting bitched out by the world for interfering in other country's politics. It is unfortunate that whenever the US helps militarily to stop civil wars and the like, we are the ones blamed for all the bloodshed, and when we don't interfere, we are blamed for the bloodshed.

    Very likely it was an issue with the voice recognition understanding his accent, it likely would have required him to run through the demo to pick up the issue.

    Also, even in the context of Salesforce, and what an opportunity is, I think that question is poorly worded.

    It can even remind you of an appointment, and even remind you with plenty of time to get there.

    In Android, it will parse the location in calendar events and suggest when to leave with current traffic to get to the meeting/location in time for the appointment.

    knightghost was typing about how Android does actual work related things, Apple devices are toys to play on. Who cares of the device works or not, can you do work on it? Can you edit a Powerpoint presentation and forward it on to your boss's laptop for him to use at the next sales meeting?

    Talk to people who live in fruit growing areas. What you will find is that it isn't that no one wants the jobs, it is that the jobs are not available to those who would willingly do the work because they can't be paid low wages or treated like slaves. Any argument on this subject that starts with "Americans won't do the work" is a lie.
