But if they're employers are sending them, someone is happy. And they
are happy because they can sell apps. And that means a developer (or two)
gets paid, and gets a trip to SF. I'm sure these are all happy Mac

more happy Mac developers and employers than before. I believe that
saying otherwise simply makes no sense.
