World’s youngest web designer
Although he is only five years old, Ajay Puri can now claim to be the youngest web designer in the world. This achievement (based on his website), is documented in the Limca Book of Records. Ajay is also a record breaker in another way. He recently passed the Microsoft "MOUS" examination with a score of 98, considered to be the highest score ever. As an acknowledgement, Microsoft Thailand gifted him with a copy of FrontPage 2000, which allows Ajay to design his website with hyper links, images, background music, frames, Dynamic HTML, Forums, and many other features. One of the features of the website is a description of his meeting with Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, who is quoted as saying "Ajay! You are going to take my seat."
World's highest internet cafe
Tsering Gyaltsen Sherpa -- the grandson of the Sherpa that accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary to the summit of Mount Everest in 1953 -- is opening an internet cafe at 17,000'. A transmitter will be installed on a slope 300 meters higher than the base camp located at the Khumba glacier on the route that climbers have established to reach the summit of Everest. Expeditions, which cost more than $65,000 on average, will be expected to pay $1000 to use the world's highest internet connection. The money will go towards purchasing equipment for the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, a team that clears Mount Everest of the rubbish that climbers leave behind.
