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.

well, at least he has a brand new Ipad 2 for a year or so, then he can sell the other one for an Ipad 3 when it comes out next year.

I would like to contribute to that research! I bet the scientists would be "baffled"

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.

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.

Maybe he'll send him a 10% coupon for the Ipad3 :^D

The kid's got a few more redundant parts he can sell. He should be good on upgrades for awhile.

Say what you want, but good on him for deciding his kidney is only worth an iPad. Hope it went to somebody in dire need.
