Yahoo! News – Teen Is Co-Creator of Firefox Browser
By age 10, Blake Ross was designing Web pages on America Online. By 14, after mastering complex programming languages such as C++, he was fixing bugs in Netscape’s Web browser from home, a hobby that landed him a job offer. “What, at the local store or something?” David Ross remembered thinking when his son told him. No, at Netscape Communications Corp.
Ross, now 19, a sophomore computer science major at Stanford University, has an even more impressive resume than most of his peers. Before graduating high school, he helped develop Firefox.
