What's meant by "new york mets" / "NYMETS" here? Is that some ATC name for combined New York area airports?

The Mets are a baseball team. Whoever wrote this weather report injected a little humour into it.

pop-shell (can be used as an extension to gnome shell on most distros) has a toggle for tiling windows. Otherwise it's all the Gnome DE.

Not a defense, I'm curious, what does Steve Jobs have to do with this? I always remember the iPhone having buttons with text before Ice Cream Sandwich or so.

Jobs is pretty notoriously a design OCD type. And he made a widely successful product that is often copied.

These types tend to hate "ugly" things like text over "pretty" things like icons. And minimalism above all else.

Beautiful is form over function. Just ask the military, who makes ugly, but very functional things.

It's a weird idea that Apple Products are somehow the antithesis of the Military, but as a metaphor it does raise some interesting points.
