Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard (via TheOnion)

Of course this is hilarious, but I’m really curious about the production costs here.  If they’re getting those sets and software mockups done super cheap…it could be such an eye opener for Hollywood-types.

I am reminded of a two-part tweet from Clay Shirky:

(1/2) Just gave a talk @ a TV conf. Talked about new economics of production.  Not *one* question was “How can we lower our costs?”

(2/2) The econ questions were versions of “How can we raise enough revenue on the web to pay for our pre-web cost structures?

Exactly.
