I'll compare Canada to Japan in this case because Canada has a long history of peacekeeping…

Mac is really missing the boat here, if they could sell their OS to PC users they'd make a killing on the security alone. The all one stop shop though is not increasing their sales percentages. OEM computers would then have more driver software instead of just windows, and that…

Interesting that in a country were people bow and do not shake hands, that this keeps growing at all. Obviously not enough washing of hands nor learning how to sneeze into your elbow/sleeve.

I had hand sanitizer when I travelled through Japan, and needed it too, often the train station…

I don't understand why the name is a 'sky tree', (sora no ki??). Even in in English (engrish) it's fairly meaningless. (I think I'm safe to say that trees don't grow downwards from the sky)
