Everyone loves a good list. The folks at Macworld have identified 30 significant Apple products. The top five contain no surprises, of course: The Mac 128k, the iMac, the iPod, the Apple II and the iTunes Store. There are some unexpected choices as well, like item number 18: The Apple logo sticker. Before you scoff, consider that people are willing to buy these things from Ebay and Red Light Runner. When I bought my car three years ago, I brought a white sticker with me so I could affix it to the window before I even drove the car home. But that's me.
Also on the list are the ill-fated Cube and Newton, the 20th Anniversary Mac and the great Hypercard. Check it out.

Ummm, the article referenced in this post is over a year old.
The writers commonly reference the G5 as current technology, and make only fleeting references to the recent switch to Intel chips.

Anyone notice that this list is from April 2006? Yikes.

Hmmm, I'd still put the ol' Apple II @ #1. Maybe that's just me?

Time to wake up, Dave: that article is 13 months old.
Man, every time I think TUAW can't sink any lower ...

I'm sure Dave must be subscribed to the Newtontalk email list, as this link posted about 3 days ago.
I'm betting if you went back into the archives, TUAW no doubtedly posted this list over a year ago :-)
