    A nine year-old girl in India named M. Lavinashree has passed the Microsoft Certified Professional Exam, becoming the youngest person to ever pull it off (smashing the record previously held by a 10 year-old Pakistani girl). The youngster has a long history of making records in her short life -- including reciting all 1,300 couplets of a 2,000 year-old Tamil epic at the age of three -- and now she's now cramming for the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Exam. We'll be honest, this really takes the zing out of our biggest accomplishment at the age of nine: figuring out where in the world Carmen Sandiego was. Hit the read link for a video.

    Source: Engadget. More coverage at ars technica, Wired and Lavinashree.com.

    Isn't this amazing?

    honestly I don't know why people are amazed by such feats - yes it's an accomplishment, but the learning capability of human is strongest when their a child. You'll learn and be more retentive of information when you're younger then when you're older - it's 2 parts evolutionary biology, 1 part cynicism and arrogance that comes from growing up.
