The Apple Store offers Macintosh computers for Brazil.
Dell Computers requires Brazilian customers to sign a declaration stating they will not violate a United States government ban on transferring or exporting Dell products to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria or Sudan, and on using them for the production or maintenance of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.
Paulo Silveira Gomes, a professor of nuclear physics at the Federal Fluminense University, refused to sign the export compliance agreement after buying an ordinary personal computer from Dell Brazil, stating I do not accept the division of countries into good and bad that the U.S. is trying to impose on the world. I work for a Brazilian university, supported by public funding, and I cant do this if Im subjected to foreign laws.
Contrary to Dell Computers Brazilian policy, the actual U.S. government policy allows Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and European nations to import computers of any capacity (including super computers) without any advance authorization.

† information, flag, and maps from Fact Book
United Nations Security Council
The United Natons Security Council has five permanent members, each of whom has veto power. They are: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China.
I propose that there are five additional nations that must also be granted permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council: Brazil, India, Germany, Japan, and Egypt.
Brazil is the largest economy and most populous nation in Latin America. That Europe has three permanent members (UK, France, and Russia) and Asia has two permanent members (China and Russia) and North America with only three nations has one permanent member, but all of Central America and all of South America have zero representatives is a mockery.
India is the second most populous nation in the world and one of the oldest civilization on the entire planet. To exclude India is a mockery.
Germany is a bigger and more influential economy than either Great Britain or France and was the nation where the industrial revolution started. The only reason they are excluded is because of bad timing in that they were on the losing side in World War II.
Japan is one of the most important economies in the world and has been a major industrial power for well more than a century. The only reason they are excluded is because of bad timing in that they were on the losing side in World War II.
Egypt is the most populous Arab nation and second most populous African nation. Egypt has long been a leader in modern Middle East affairs and is one of the oldest civilizations on the entire planet. That Europe has three permanent members (UK, France, and Russia) and Asia has two permanent members (China and Russia) and North America with only three nations has one permanent member, but all of Africa have zero representatives and their are no Muslim representatives is a mockery.
