They better figure out a way to cover the keyboard otherwise they'll be getting crumbs, cokes, coffee, and pudding in between the keys.  Imagine the text arrival message with a medical emergency onboard...

"Requesttttttttttttttttttttttt ttttttttttt medical tttttttttttttttttttttttttteam attttttttttttt ttttttttttttttttttttttttthe gattttttttttttttttttttttttttt te for cardiac arrestttttttttttttttttttttttt patttttttttttttttttttienttttt ttttttttttttttttttttttttt"

Look closely, it does have a folding cover
In the picture it's folded over the other half.

Although I would also prefer a removable cover that is always covering the keys.
Just remove the cover, wipe it clean and put it back, voila.
Apparently that has gone over the engineering minds at Airbus :I

Whats button number 33 from the top left for?


The rest looks like pretty basic stuff.. but that 33..




Wonder what happens if you type "ctrl + alt + delete" on the keyboard, or maybe "format c:"

How about "format airbusA380:"..

On recent flights, I've started naming my laptop "737 Autopilot" or something similar, then using Bluetooth to try and pair with any other bluetooth devices.  

Most of them are cellphones that people have decided to leave on, so I don't feel guilty when I see people look at their beeping phone, see the name of what's trying to pair to their phone, and suddenly get very nervous and shut it off.
