Its not exactly the same thing, the MIT clock has a much higher cool factor. The helicopter flies away, but the alarm clock itself stays on the table. You just have to get propeller on top of the alarm clock again to make it shut up...
I think you touch an interesting point, and one that has been bothering me for some time now: the difference between Computer Science, and things like software engineering.
To me, CS is kind of physics (as a discipline) and SE is kind of like mechanical engineering. Evidently you do not need a physics degree in order to design a machine, but you do want one if you want to reason about how it works or to make a breakthrough in machine-making.
If the analogy holds, it is clear that there is less (diminishing) demand for CS. Not every mechanic needs a Physics degree.
You are implicitly supposing that IQ is a genetic trait, which may not be the case. Intelligence (or the develoment of) could be more related to social or monetary issues.
It would seem that way These Toes Were Made for Running

Holy un-closed tags batman!

It's a rather well-done fan flick about Street fighters after the fame has faded out.

I for one welcome our Emergents of the Emergency Overlords
That doesn't sound like a LASER weapon.
