What do you predict will happen when all the coins are mined. ie "the gold rush is over"

I imagine IBM probably don't think it's worth it.

And remember, only 3600 are mined per day, and that will not change until nearly 2017 when it will be cut in half.

Bitcoin is still in its infancy. That probably explains why computer nerds are heavy into it.

So 10,000,000 bitcoins yet to be mined X $44/bitcoin = $440,000,000 is not worth it?

Okay, got it....
