A 12-year-old rewarded by Google
According to expressen.se a 12 year old Swede has been awarded with $3000 for finding an XSS from Google Translate. So there’s hope for the next gen after all ;)
If sweden isn’t your strong point (like me), google translate makes the article understandable…

daMage, there is always hope, the thing is that hope is shifting its location, from what i notice now days almost all those who can or do anything are either really poor or from a location where you stay all day at home or die freezing.
Here in the arab world i gave up finding hope in people, most only think what to eat and whom to fuck (at least dream about it).
in most of Europ and the in the USA things are becoming slower with most of the youngsters as they spend more and more time on online games and video games.
if you have everything you want why to go the extra mile!

@daMage could you provide the link to that article please [in English if possible].
@AdIGA please don’t speak ill of Arabs, I know the majority could lead you to despair. But believe that there is always hope and there are good people among us ;-).
Just never give up hope, and try to help the next generation becoming better starting with your descendants as they are your responsibility.

CME64, Its not that i lost hope, but living in the arab world for the whole 28 years of my life, ive seen alot of things change, starting with knowledge and ending with morals, if things kept going this way, in 30 years all what we will have in the arab world are people who are guided thinking, all they know is what is in the books they read at schools and that is without even understanding what they memorize, im sure that some will not be like that, but the thing is the percentage is dropping every year.
10 years ago when i started to use a computer, started using the internet we had porn, games, social media and lots of things to do, and having worked at an internet cafe ive seen people who speak not a word of english yet did notice that there was a shutdown button for the pc on windows, and most of them did have the idea to ask why to use it and not pull the plug, that is just simple example of what was 10 years ago, today, almost all use facebook, yet no one asked a simple question -how does it work?- (even if the answer might be a pain in the ass).
I consider my self an idealist, and from what i see where i live, the world is going down and going down fast.
not that i have given up on hope, but because the world is eating hope up.
I Hate Signatures.
Sorry, didn’t check if my link was correct. I was supposed to post this: http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/mathias-12-hittade-googles-sakerhetshal/
Here’s google translate:

I didn’t find any English source, but as said earlier, the google translation is understandable in this case :(

@ADIGA people are not the same everywhere, I was about to lose hope before I met others who gave me the courage not to. After all I’m looking out for the people I care about and give advice to whomever needs it. Let’s be the reason they don’t sink down instead of just watching and judging.
@daMage thanks for the link, I’m quiet intrigued to know what that hole was and how Google is planning to fix it _.

I agree with you ADIGA!
I believe the world is slowly being hypnotized or the term you use “guided”.
people who dont see is blind in my opinion, no offence to anyone :)
i agree with you adiga .
in india , most people only dream to become engineers , CA or doctors . they dont recognise their talent only walk on path told by others .
