So I went to bed yesterday and set my phone on my desk on a pile of books. The phone is on vibrate and someone calls me; it was near the side of the book pile and vibrates, falls over, knocks over a small cup of iced tea, which falls onto my computer and fries it. So now, my kinda new macbook pro is dead after a few months of use, hows that for luck?

This is why I never keep food or drinks anywhere near the computer.

I've spilled shit on my Macbook twice. Got the keyboard replaced the first time (beer spill.) Second time, which was a couple weeks ago, I spilled some Jones soda on it. Of course the only key that didn't work was a key that's in every single one of my passwords (yeah, I'm one of those guys, same password for almost everything.) Instead up paying the 150 or whatever it was for another new keyboard I just bought a wireless one. Figure I'll be safe this way.
Anyway, did you take your shit to an Apple store yet?

LOL, upon further inspection of the warranty it also does not cover neglect or abuse
The computer is now turning on, but the keyboard is fucked, a lot of letters dont work. Will this be fixed by getting a new USB keyboard?

If you have a USB keyboard laying around the house, then try it out. If not, buy a cheap one if you can. I'm gonna guess it's just the keyboard, that's what has happened to me twice. You can either get a new keyboard, which is about $150 if I remember correctly, or get a new USB keyboard. I don't use my laptop out and about much so I'm fine with a wireless keyboard.

Those warrantees never cover anything useful to the customer.

well, if it does not cover accidents or intended damage, then the burning question remains: just what does the warranty cover?

It coveres a variety of non-physical possibilities which are made to seem important, thus urging you to pay the extra money to have such a treaty in place.

If your product has been disabled by means of a piano falling from the sky, then we will replace the damage, but only under the condition that the piano itself is black and was priorly tuned upon impact.
