So let me see if i got this straight, Intel made a keyboard with "holes" in it so it can better ventilate the hot air coming out of a notebook. Then they poured water on it which proves it to be water-proof. But what happens when the keyboard is on the notebook and you spill something on it ? Wouldnt the water go right thru faster damaging all the components ? oh yeah, except the keyboard...

It seems that the holes are tiny and allow the hot air to pass through, but keep water out, something like a GoreTex jacket...
