Should have sold his testicles, that way he could not pass his defective genes down to his kids.
When the kid dies, he should donate his body to research, so scientist can try to figure out why he was so stupid.
It's hard to believe that the materialistic culture in China could be even worse than in North America.
I wonder why he didn't just save up for it or put it on a credit card. Sure it would take a few months to a year but by then Ipad 3 comes out...
Because he'd probably need to work for 40 years making Ipads to save up the money.
But without a college degree, Zheng's prospects weren't looking great. Average wages in major Chinese cities range from 1,000 to 5,000 RMB (CN¥. Zheng would like fall on the low end, making between 1,000 and 1,500 RMB. At the current going exchange rate of 500 RMB to $77.13 USD, it would take the young man several months to get the slick device.
What a way to screw yourself at 17.
He had 1 redundant kidney, and no iPad, and now he has enough kidney, and an iPad. WIN!

The daily tech article only said a few months...
Could've made a southpark episode about this instead of the human Centipad.![]()
I think Steve personally owes this boy something. It's all his fault for making apple products costly and flashy that a chinese kid wouldn't be kidding over his kidney.
