Case in point, they were arguing about monitors with LED LCD panels made by LG that did not satisfy Apple's requirements for their products, so cheaper manufacturers use these panels in much cheaper monitors. Who has the time to know that kind of shit??
It's pretty easy to keep up with technology if you keep up on news websites and technology blogs. Hell, if you're a really fast reader, you could probably keep up with current events in less than 15 minutes a day. It's the same with technology - only that it might be faster because all you're really looking at are its specs and sometimes the science behind how one of its features work.

Why?

Probably because their generator wasn't coded to generate anything more 7 characters and they've simply reached their end (36 characters - 26 alphabetical and 10 numbers):

i.e., there must be < 36^7 pictures TinyPic went through already
