I want to know why Apple chose not to make the laptop waterproof

At least twice a month our 22 year old CTO, comes into our open office and starts a super soaker fight. Normally we’re pretty good about putting our machines away, but if we aren’t careful, there goes our $3K ‘investment’. It’s clear to me that the Pro in Macbook Pro no longer means Professional.

It’s clear Apple just doesn’t care about Macs anymore.

Edit: Yes, this was a joke

I really don't know if this is sarcasm or not... and I hate to be "that guy" but if your CTO comes into the office and starts spraying water around tech equipment, I think serious questions need to be asked about him being CTO.

Considering his Twitter bio (in his profile) says he works at Amazon, I'm going to lean strongly on this being satire.

Honestly it's pretty funny that everyone took this at face value, pretty telling..

Yeah such a shame for all super soaker fightning professionals, impossible to use in a proper office environment.

You think Apple doesn't care about macs anymore because they didn't make it waterproof?

Also, this is the most "startup" comment I've read in a while.

Definitely sarcasm. Bone dry delivery.

All of my questions about whether I am on the right career path just got answered.

The worst thing is that I can't really tell if you are being serious or not.

Has anyone, um, told your CTO that water and computers don't mix?

MacBook Pro: For all of your professional needs*

*not including supersoaker fights

He is lucky he isn't my CTO. I don't get mad. I don't get even. I get ahead. Way ahead. He might be greeted by a fire hose as he steps out of his car. Would I give him time to close the door first? I don't know, how is he as a CTO?
