He is just five years old. But Ajay Puri of Lucknow has earned the distinction of having become the youngest computer web designer in the world.

With the feat firmly under his belt, the Class-II student, who designed his website, www.microsfotkid.com, has entered the Limca Book of Records.

The talented boy recently met Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. After the meeting, Gates is reported to have remarked: "Ajay! You are going to take my seat."

Last month, he took the Silicon Valley by surprise by passing the Microsoft "MOUS" examination, securing 98 per cent marks. An exam, which people five times his age find it difficult to pass.

His score of 98 is said to be the highest in the world so far. Ajay has thus become the youngest specialist Microsoft Office user in the world.

Though he belongs to Lucknow at present his parents work in Bangkok, where he studies at Harrow International School.

CNN has already featured him. Now, the BBC and the CNBC are planning to make more features on this computer wiz kid.

In recognition of his amazing talent, Microsoft Thailand recently gifted him FrontPage 2000 for making a website.

He can create a website with all hyper links, thumbnails, background music, frames, DHTML, Forums etc.

Geez that's something. But how does a 5 year old get that smart?
It's amazing :thumbsup

You URL is fucked up


MicrosoftKid.com

Look at the website colors, then read this...

"I love You Aamir Khan"

It's his gay genes that made him so smart...

Let's see Amp compete with that!

http://www.microsoftkid.com/ ... scores out some of the gfy designers for sure ... and now get microsoft to sue the living shit out of him for haveing their name in the domain ...

"Woh aa ke gire hum pe, bijli ke khambe ki tarah, khuda ki kasam current kha ke maza aa gay"

... yes, that sounds exactly the way 5 year olds talk ... give me a motherfucking break ... !!

you call that a design ?
it sucks !!

"He can transfer documents on to the floppy disks. He can take out prints of the various documents. Ajay can also perform routine maintenance of the computer."

I can do that too! Me!

Stupid kid.

I did this shit when I was still wearing pampers and that was a few years before I turned 5.

I think someone needs to give Maddox a call...

no way that kid passed a "MOUS" exame - Cant be done.
A child developes his own "self" around 3, and its not possible to learn 2 languages (his own + english) + the computer relatet knowledge he has to learn before passing the "MOUS" exame.

Its a Hoax

[yawn smiley] yawn [/yawn smiley]

i think its possible to do this computer shit with 5years.no problem..my daughter which is 3years old can start the pc aswell. She opens winamp and play music, then she is able to open notepad or microsoft word and write her name or other things like dady or so. she is painting houses, pets and so on on paint in windows.....then she goes to ebay and other sites and visits some auctions of pets and playtools..where is the problem ? I am sure she will be able to generate internet sites in html or frontpage..where is the problem? its not difficult. But to write such sentences like the boy did in his suggestions for the kids, its not possible with 5years...

The website sucks. I don't believe in patronizing kids and telling them something is really really good when it sucks just because they're kids. I emailed Ajay Puni and told him the website was a disgrace to his parents, Allah and most importantly to himself and to get back to playing with his Osama bin Laden action figures and his magic carpet riding lessons.

I don't think i was being unfair to the boy.

oh. i just found out he is Indian. I thought he was Pakistani. The Indians aren't backstabbing us at the moment like Pakistan.

maybe later on i will think about it and write young Ajay an apology.

sure - but they claim he passed a "MOUS" exame. ( Microsoft Office User Specialist )
List of test

Yeah but that test only requires the user to find out how to disable the fucking Office Assistant... mind you im sure many people fail this simple test

Nurgle

He should hire me for a re-design :2 cents:

it was a joke son..........a joke son.

The other day I was looking into studying to be a primary school teacher (hey, a gal has to keep her options open in this climate). I was reading through the British nataional cirriculm for the primary ages (which is 7-11..so elementry school). In their technology portion they are teaching 7 years olds to design basic webpages. So, in theory every British kid is going to know how to design a basic page by the time they get to middle school. I see a flooded job market in the future.

Funny Thing is he is 5 and he prolly gets more hits to his webpage than most people here

DarkJedi...

are you jealous? wink wink

big deal

i also don't believe the MOUS part.

haha holy crap i was looking through very old posts then went away and forgot what i was doing then read this one and replied to it like it was new :helpme :helpme

To all those who have asked about the Indian boy's design prices:
static banner: 1 bowl of rice
animated banner: 2 bowls of rice with hot sauce
TGP gallery: Chicken Tika
3 tour pages: Toilet paper for my whole family
Search engine submission: marry my sister.
