As someone whose family moved from Ohio to Florida, yeah, it's all kinda' redundant. I haven't followed Fark for awhile (blocked at work since 2005) but before this, Florida and Ohio were the only states with tags. I think they may have added Texas but not sure.
Don't you mean Apple? The government needs to break them up for all their anti-competative behavior. You can't expect the invisible hand of the market to do anything with a company that makes such cool products.
Seeing interfaces evolve and hashing them out, over and over again, yeah, you can pretty easily see where folks are coming from with a new interface. Can go beyond just being familiar with past and present developments.
My grocery store censors my scotch selection. They won't carry Lismore any more (same price as Jim Beam). I have to go two doors down to the liquor store to get it!
I use a Core2 Mac Mini as home AV/Web/File server, as well as DVR home theater system. I'm using a DVI to HDMI cable for video and fiber optic for surround sound to receiver. I have two 1.5 TB drives hanging off of it, with around 800 GB of movies, tv shows, and music. I have cable in via a El Gato tv tuner that also streams television to my iPhone. iTunes holds all our media files and shares them out to the computers in the rest of the house (Macs, Apple TV, and HP laptop). I'm working on getting the Wii to recognize and play iTunes files but it's still kinda' flaky.
Now, can this be done with other hardware and OS? Sure. I've built a mythtv system on Fedora but the Mac Mini was really easy; just plug it in, fire up iTunes and point it to my Library location. Runs ok as a web/FTP server as well. So, on a technical level, yeah, it's nothing ground breaking but from a user standpoint, it's a very smooth and easy to use system. And that's what Apple sells; ease of use.

i bet Phineas and Ferb could help out this guy.
I'll be damned. It's been 5 years since I've been out there and there's no Ohio tag. Man, that's messed up!
I thought morals were relative?

And there's a reason Florida and Ohio have their own news tags.
I love the car Homer designed.
In an infinite university, all courses are possible?
Wait, you mean human skin is powerful enough to block beta particles? Can we block electricity too?
Cool!
Damn it! Now I have his voice stuck in my head. My inner monolog is going to sound really weird today.

Pfft! Scientists always going for black holes (shh, Sigmund!). Any engineer will tell you that a teaspoon of neutronium is what's needed.
Somalia wouldn't put up with this. They'd board Oracle's ships and hold them ransom for... one meelion dollars!
Or use that store's shopping cart.
I have a IIGS. It's in storage.

What about setting some nano-replicators loose on Phobos and have them build a beanstalk down to Mars?
Oh, wait, what century is this?
Wait, was that the one with the hot space vampire?
I never even noticed Patrick Stewart was in this.
There is no dark side of the sun. Matter of fact, it's all dark.
Hey, GM won't let me hook up to their On-Star network with the rig I breadboarded. They're anti-competative!
Call me Francis, I'll kill you!
It really is a different world when you're rich. I'm not sure I would like it that much.
Um... I'd be willing to try it for a few decades and write up an interesting report on it.
I see a turtle.
As long as Apple's still beleaguered and their stock is $14.00 a share, I'll be good!
I must be new here.
