Parts of Texas, sure. But Texas is the size of (Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Maine, South Carolina, West Virginia, Maryland, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island) combined, and Austin is pretty well inland.
The idea that Firefox's development has been driven by consumer demand at any point in the last year is utterly ridiculous.
The fairly fast degredation in capacity is a lot more relevant for something that gets replaced more slowly than portable electronics.
Really, what we should do is evacuate all of Israel's Jews to Iraan.
Nothing wrong with it. It's just not the standard text editor. Check the man page in, for example, OpenSolaris:

ed, red - text editor
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The ed utility is the standard text editor.
Only in areas where the Federal Government has authority to legislate. Gonna argue that this was an instance of interstate commerce?
Which still has nothing to do with the federal government. He's a state judge, and the only Federal requirement of his job is that he take an oath to the US Constitution.

Why would we bother to invade? They're already US!
They'll look hard, sure. And then what?
And in 1985, I guess you would have said: "Pepsi now outsells Coke? Just goes to show New Coke is not losing drinkers because it tastes more like Pepsi than old Coke."
Ok, lets say the Fed's block the merger. What happens next?
Somebody else buys T-Mobile. CenturyLink, a consortium of US cable companies, a private capital investment firm, a different foreign telecom (say, América MÃvil) . . . there are lots and lots of people who aren't AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint Nextel out there.
Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
