 Oh, to Be a 9-Year-Old Computer GeniusPosted on May 18, 2010
Meet Marco Calasan, the world’s youngest Microsoft systems engineer and official computer genius. At the advanced age of 9, Marco, who calls Macedonia his home, is already the author of a book on Windows 7 that he’s hoping to publish and has earned four Microsoft certificates. Oh, and he speaks three languages. And they say all the youngsters like the Macs these days. —KA Click here to watch the video on CNN’s site. Advertisement TAGS:

Genius may be narrow in its applications and as such wouldn’t help you anymore than an averager person with your own project for a better enibriator, LeeFella. But who knows?

Whoa kid! Lighten up! Check out that other Macedonian that snuffed at thirty-one right after lamenting that he had no more worlds to conquer.

Everyone wants a genius to work on their pet projects, maybe he could teach me how to make my own Tequila.
Why should it assumed he will be a moral Genius?
My personal preference would be he promote the arts.

1 in 10,000 males and 1 in 15,000 females show these traits. They need to be nurtured the way we help those who are disadvantaged right here in the USA. It is whether there is an environment conducive to their abilities that is the other part of that particular equation. Good for him, hope he doesn’t burn out the way some of them do from too much pressure to perform.
Just imagine if he had no access to computers or more than one language? Would we have even heard of him no matter whatever else he had done? I doubt it.
We need him and more like him to help us out of the mess we have gotten ourselves into.

Hopefully he won’t work for IBM otherwise they will grind him up in the Corporate meat grinder and his job will be outsourced by the time he’s 12 !

Yuvid1 could you expand, for possibly my sarcasm may have escaped you, on the other hand maybe it didn’t!
It seems on these here threads, if one dost not agree they are either Zionist or Right Wing Conservative in the minds of bigots, imbeciles and morons.
I am so tired of hearing anything and everything being blamed on the Zionists!

Naaah, there isn’t that much difference these days between the two. I have found that people like Leefener are more like religiously biased when it comes to which platform they prefer.

If he likes Microsoft instead of Apple and is writing a book and being smart is a dead give away, he must be a Zionist!
