We will get to many of the areas where you have expertise. You were head of the benghazi review board. Is there a case for reopening that investigation . If there is, i have not seen it yet. I have been alert to this. When i took the job, i knew it was going to be a big issue that had great political overtones. And i tried to watch it very carefully, one of the things i did when i took the job, i tried to read every report that we did our job as well as we could. We did our job as well as we could. I am the last person to tell you we did everything perfectly. No one believes your board, your review board, got all of the information and documents. Haveere any you should gotten . Of course, we got information and documents on the five tasks we had under the law. For security. We were not there to look at talking points. We were not there to look at what i would call event political hand wrestling. And so of course, there could be things that were not within our mandate because we did not
Unveiling this new tablet. You can imagine the kind of reception he got. You know what . When the faithful were there in full force in their red tshirts packing the Convention Center hall beyond capacity, cheering every new product launch, from a new hdtv, a new router, and of course the new product was the new mipad. He hates to be compared to steve jobs, but he is clearly taking a page from apple in leveraging its growing phone user base to sell tablets. Already, it sells more phones in china than apple. I caught up with the man who is in charge of the International Push for xiaomi, that is hugo barra. Were going to start probably in southeast asia, and then take it to the other markets we are exploring like india, latin america, and so on. Will you see how it does in the china market . Timeframe is determined by our manufacturing capacity. We have to see how quickly we can ramp. Hopefully we can do that this year. The tablet market is pretty much dominated by one if not two players,
They signed the communique. Are you optimistic . I would like to be but we need to look at what president putin has done and his declared intentions. He has been speaking as if the eastern part of ukraine is already part of russia. He has talked about the new russia. In his mind, there will be over time some federalization of ukraine which would mean the hollowing out of that government and reducing the ability of the government to really have a coherent state that they can control. I think that is his ultimate goal. He will continue to have his forces on the border and continue to agitate. The United States and the west really is at a disadvantage. Not much we can do other than sending forces over. Will sanctions have an impact . They are having a major impact already. I would covertly or quietly propose to the russians that we have a whole series of additional sanctions we are prepared to put into effect that would require the europeans to support us on that but even absent that supp

The best Product Pipeline that i have seen at apple in my 25 years at apple. It is the best Product Pipeline you have seen in 25 years . Thats right. Will you tell us about them . I get to see it tomorrow. I have been hanging out with this guy for two months. Im not kidding. That is a really strong statement you made a few minutes ago. I think you set for the rest of this year, you have the best Product Pipeline you have seen in 25 years. In 25 years, you did the imac, the ipod, the iphone, the ipad, the macbook air, those are all widely recognized as pretty good products, right . I agree with you. I believe the products we have coming are great. The appearance came just hours after apple struck a deal to buy beats electronics for 3 billion.
