It would have been fun if they'd used the original Mac "San Francisco" font instead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_(1984_typeface)

I wonder why they reused the "San Francisco" name. Following the original Macintosh tradition of naming fonts after "world class cities", there are plenty of new names they have have chosen.

Apple has fallen into the Silicon Valley 'everything important is in California' realm.

I'm always amused when I look at the Date/Time settings and see that the West Coast runs on Cupertino time

I always make sure I have LA or portland/seattle picked, that "cupertino" thing annoys me for some reason.

Oh the original names where a lot better. I guess less memorable, but still more unique.
