What an egotistical kid. Sheesh...

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist 2.5.2. Macworld - five mice!

He's 8 for crying out loud. If he indeed made that site, he definitely has some key concepts down. An artist he's not, however, and I don't think he or his following is trying to claim that he is.

I'll say one thing - the kid definitely has a mind for self-promotion. Who else would get a picture taken with a celebrity while holding up a sign with their own name on it?

Yeah, I'm sure his parents aren't forcing him to do any of this and it was his idea to do all this for publicity and in the end, $.

Well, that one comment from his resume is a bit rude

Maks are teh Sux0rs!!!! If computer is so easy that an idiot can use it, only idiots will use it ! bwahahahaha .
but my favorite one was

_Ajay had the honor of getting exclusive appointment with Microsoft Chief Bill Gates in Hyderabad on 14th Novemver-2002. Ajay showed Mr. Gates a demo of Longhorn, which he has been working on since 2001. Mr. Gates gave Ajay his blessing and allowed him to drop WinFS as long as he completes it by 2006"

And what, pray tell, should Apple do with this kid once they take note of him? He's already a Microserf, obviously, he's not gonna be open to new things...

For 8, that's pretty impressive. He's certainly got a long way to go, but he's got a long time to get there.

This is why you start kids out on unix boxes

If that kid was raised on unix/OS X, he'd be an open source evangalist right now, discussing to his friends the advantages of open software over Microsoft crap.

The most recent date I can find on his website is 2003. Does he have a new one now?
