playing with computer games, is totally different than learning engineering mathematics, basis of operating systems, learning how to analyse programming codes, logic and digital systems, computer architecture , theories of networks, … . Even though he is very fast learning, but the limitation of his age doesn’t let him to finish high school mathematics! its very stupid article ever :) when i watched this in news, they said he knows a little bit c++ ! his age is less than enough to learn basics of programming and algorithm or Qbasic! knowing just how to write a “Hello World!” program is completely useless and doesn’t make him a computer hero! very funny!

“Creating video game emulators”

First paragraph.

Do you even know what an emulator is?!

It is a “program” designed to run non-computer platform games to run on PC.

Example:-
If you want to run a PS3, PSP, Nintendo Wii or XBOX 360 games on a computer, you need a program which can run the game files and decode them in a way those other platform does.

And FYI, that does need “programming”.

So he has been CREATING game emulators? As in, programming them? Because I highly, highly doubt that.

Being a great gamer does not a computer expert make. He should get out more and get that flab off before it kills him.

“Microsoft World”?! This kid already invented software for Microsoft?

Agreed that the kid is a genius.

But allowing a six year old to play Call of duty and Metal Gear solid, does it really make sense??
Do the parents even check the ESRB/PEGI rating on the game’s cover??

These games are clearly for adults.

Any way, I hope the kid does not get influenced by the violence in these games and turns out to be a real genius when he grows up.

“how often do you see a six-year-old kid who’s been creating video game emulators since he was four”

Yeah, that would be awesome. Except there is no such kid. Basic fact checking, please. Kid’s just an obsessed gamer. Impressive, but no programmer.
