He found a partner, and together they began trading on their own.
OK, that means he's no longer just a programmer but a trader as well. It's all about risk/reward and these guys are taking on much much more risk than just being a programming now.
A year or two ago I saw a TV program interviewing a mid-level management dude in NY city earning $400K and it's family spending/budgeting. They're kinda crazy by choosing to live on 5th Avenue (something like a stupid small 700-800 sq ft condo), have a nanny and send 2 kids to private school, in any case that salary pretty much all drained by expenses.
That's what I'm hoping for but heck currently there's just no alternative to it in terms of usability, performance...etc. All those arm-based andriod tablets battery sucks and sluggish; convertible netbook bigger, still sluggish and UX sucks... seriously what's the current alternative?
Again, these i-Devices are never meant to be a generic device or computer - and that is the assumption that ppl complain about. I keep hearing this complain of a prison-like analogy but it's like saying why the washing machine embedded system is not open to be mod with ability to play pacman on the LCD.
Compare to this which is at $85 in volume without shipping, I'm not sure how it can get the cost down to $10. Some very cheap ARM with integrated flash/ram still cost $10.
FWIW I'm not a designer. Though if I look at this from a macro point of view, if a return of $269 requires 100 designers to spend 1 hour each, that is equivalent of $2.69/hour. This is definitely an inefficient market - that goes back to ' too much supply' as pointed out by parent.
Seriously where does biometric sit these days? Is there a potentially cheap/reliable/ubiquitous form to replace password? Finger-print, retina scan, voice, spit sample... something?
Me no engineer either but would it possibly be better to pump as much out as possible so that the potential of the pressure breaking the fix may happen again, if we just seal that sucker off?
China's giving the world cheap slave labour in result Walmart, cheap electronics...etc. You may not like the thinking but everybody in the western world are taking advantages of it to some degree.

Swapped out a registration-required NY Times link for a Computerworld one.
Comparing with above ground subway (i.e. sky-train) I think it's the infrastructure cost and build time.
Dude, seriously, all government stuff are paid for by taxpayers of the US. I don't think we have access to the whitehouse.
I'm sure MS has a new product / experimental department exploring new ideas. May be insiders can share some non-proprietorial ideas to come from MS?
Honestly I think it was nothing more than a very cool video/product concept to counter the ipad launch.

Help understanding oil's future, play this game: http://www.addictinggames.com/oiligarchy.html I think it's a great educational tool.

I kept wonder all the iDevice bashers actually have used them in any extended way. They really do not understand what user experience means.

Dude: can I download the podcast and put it in a CD/MP3 player so I can listen to in the car?
Really.... if we think for-profit companies are evil, then well, let's rethink this capitalist thing then..?
No only it's run by people, BP as a beast is not stupid - the less it tries to stop the leak, the more it will have to pay later (claims, clean up).

They may have most 'Chan's but no 4chan for China!!!
They could attach the system to the bathroom urinals and gain additional heating for the building.
Also I believe you have to register to be lobbyist.

In Soviet Russia, the Internet quits you.
Unless you live in St. Paul or northeast US.
