This is ignoring the fact that very few people have issues with these keyboards overall.
- Hamuko 8y agoHow many people are very few people? There's 35,000 signatures on a petition to recall the keyboards. There's two class-action lawsuits. There's how many different online writings about the issue?
- gfosco 8y agoYou can get signatures and file suits for almost anything, that's pretty meaningless. If it wasn't an insignificant percentage, they would've done something about it.
- Hamuko 8y agoSo your basis for the "very few people" is Apple's inaction?
- gfosco 8y agoThey're really the only entity who knows how widespread this is, and is financially incentivized to address it. Additionally, my employer has probably 30,000 of these keyboards in service and it's not a significant issue.
- Hamuko 8y agoThey're also financially incentivised to downplay the issue considering the class-action lawsuits alleging that they were selling defective keyboards.
- gfosco 8y agoI don't think Apple is too concerned about class action lawsuits over keyboards... They'll settle and pay a little cash, another entirely insignificant number.
- Bud 8y agoThere were a lot of "online writings" about WMD in Iraq, too. Anyway, I'm not disputing that that keyboard has some issues. I agree with you. It's a crappy keyboard. But I was trying to discuss AirPower and the fact that it's a laudable, good-faith decision to just admit you failed with your engineering effort and you can't build the product you hoped to build.
- komali2 8y ago>There were a lot of "online writings" about WMD in Iraq, too. ...what?
- HeWhoLurksLate 8y ago> There were a lot of "online writings" about WMD in Iraq, too. Not sure if that's true or not, but wouldn't a lot of people have complained about that too, had they malfunctioned, or even been used, a la Macbooks?
