The attrition rate for "pre-med" freshman actually becoming a doctor is much higher than CompSci/Eng students becoming SWE.

Clojure 1.4 is two releases behind the current version...

Did microwaves become mainstream when they were 600+ dollars?

Also, a microwave helps you with the basic necessities of life (making/eating food) if you lack cooking skills. The IPad is an entertainment device.

IMO this analogy is very weak.
