[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Engineer here.  You might never get rich being an engineer. But there is such joy in having a job that conforms to the laws of physics. Even the biggest BS manager/sales person/lawyer can’t get you to make too much up. [/quote]

I used to think like this, but came to the realization that the value is not in the engineering, but in the idea that led to the engineering. In other words, the value of the original iPhone's touch screen isn't the engineering to realize the touchscreen itself, but the idea about the touchscreen and how it should function. You can call the people that come up with those ideas "BS manager", laugh at the sales guys, but there's a reason they make more money than you. I say this as someone with not one but two engineering degrees. [/quote]

Uh, every engineer in the word would known a touch screen is better, and that resistive touch screens were horrible.

Engineer built the capacitive touch screen to address that idea, and Palm or Android were right on the cusp of deploying products when iPhone came out.

Marketing for iPhones is amazing; but it is also the stellar engineering which makes it stable and high performing.
