How do you zoom in on Apple's site ? 'page zoom' or 'text zoom' ? Safari, Camino, Firefox have options to do either one; with 'text zoom', only the text changes size as the user zooms in / out (and text may wrap depending on available space). Another user configuration is the 'minimum font-size' setting (Opera, Chrome, Safari, Camino Opera), or a larger / smaller default font size. If you really want your layout to scale based on user font-sizes, then never use 'px', but set width, margin, padding, etc in 'em' units.
