John C. Dvorak wrote in his latest article for PCMag: The iPhone Is No Desktop

"People are willing to make a device that you can drop in the toilet or leave in a taxi cab the next desktop computing platform. Ridiculous."

So, I was doing the This Week in Tech show over the weekend, and one of the participants was singing the blues over spilling a cup of coffee on his two-month-old Apple laptop's keyboard. If this was a desktop rig—the old-fashioned kind—you'd have wrecked only a $50 keyboard, if that. Today, though, he's out over $1,500.

It wasn't just Harris and his laptop, John got the comode remark from Leo telling his tale re: a public restroom incident during the TWiT that received so many negative comments. It's fascinating to see a creative result stemming from a witnessed incident.
