I'm kind of thrilled to see Mac revenue flat and unit sales down 3%. I was really worried that these keyboard problems wouldn't have any effect on the bottom line and give them an excuse to ignore it; hopefully this is setting off alarm bells and getting them to see that, yes, it really unacceptable and needs to be fixed.

I hope that's Apple's response too. But I fear they might just conclude to that their expertise is in cell phones and they shouldn't invest too much in laptops after all. Maybe introduce some more gimmicks and see if anything sticks. I really hope I'm wrong. I'd love to see an MBP I could get excited about.
I think that would be a mistake. I believe at least, that Apple owes a lot to the size of it’s developer computer. Get them off Apple and you’re one step closer to Android, then you start developing apps for non-Apple products.
