“Arden Hayes, a 5-year-old ‘whiz kid’ from Carlyle, Ill., was back on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night,” GeekWire reports.
“The real zinger came at the end,” GeekWire reports, “when he was handed the Sony Xperia Tablet Z as a parting gift. ‘Well, you could just give it away,’ he said, pushing the Android tablet back across the desk. ‘We’re just planning to get an iPad for Christmas.'”
MacDailyNews Take: Arden’s hit the age of reason early.

MacDailyNews Take: You can’t fool kids with fake iPads.
Bright kid… and way smarter than Kimmel.

Oh man, that is so full of win!
Sony promotion FAIL!!!
Good man, Arden!!!
Yeah, but I wish it had been a Samsung tablet instead.
brilliant little guy!
The kid ought to get a tour of the Apple complex.
maybe he will be the next Apple CEO 30 (or 20) years from now
And who the heck’s idea was it to give the kid the substandard tablet? How trashy.
MDN, why are you still embracing FLASH? After all that you have said, to put a flash required video on your site is odd.
Just watched this on my iPhone. No Flash required.
Runs fine on my iOS device, what browser are you using?
Some people use trucks from time-to-time.
Of course! Forgot about that.
Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Show Develop menu
Then
Develop -> User Agent -> Safari iOS 6.1 – iPad
Command R to refresh this page and enjoy!
Thanks for the clue. Now I have one.
Works fine on my 5S.
You need to ask why they refuse to update the app to iPhone 5 dimensions. Content great, but design-Amateur hour.
I did ask MDN that, and they said “be patient, it’s coming”.
Now that sounds like Microsoftslooooooow
Just watched it on my iPad. No flash required. ??????
That’s a statement, not a question!
I have Flash on my iMac. From reading the comments below the original article it appears the video was pulled offline and Flash has nothing to do with denied access right now.
HILARIOUS!
Made me laugh out loud, especially at the end when the kid goes to pick up the gift he wants to take with him, and walks away.
Beautiful!
Stupid Hulu. Doesn’t play in Canada (so much for frikken free trade).
Anyone know if it is on YouTube?
Yah, I had to switch to a US IP address to be able to view it. I don’t know why they put that silly restriction in place.
This kid is a genius!
Here you go:
It does not play in Europe either. Thanks for nothing!
free trade
it’s free one way
and trade the other.
Cool Kid!
Too bad he wasn’t offered a Samdung or Nexus tablet. It would have been a faster slam dunk.
Priceless
Apple should invite him to tour the campus, and present him with an early Christmas gift.
Kimmel has to wise up if he wants to be considered on the leading edge.
Oh yes yes yes, a hulu video, can only be streamed from the United States, what a blessing for the free world. It springs forth hope that maybe some day their pollution, weapons and invasions will be reserved for their as well. Sure will save on shipping them to an island in the middle of nowhere to get rid of them.
That was the nicest way to say, “Just keep that crap away from me, will ya?”
If Apple’s PR department isnt shipping him a free (Gold) iPad right now, then they are sleeping on the job!
Lets put Arden in charge of Apple maps. 😉
Brilliant!
But, but, the Sony Xperia Tablet Z doesn’t even have a kickstand!
Okay, I’m done now.
“Out of the mouths of babes…”
You can be sure I posted the link to this video on my facebook page. Everyone should see it!
Later in the show Vince Vaughn came on and Jimmy “gave” the Sony to him. It was another “meh” moment!
A piece of advise to SONY; next time you try to use a show to promote your garbage, try to use dumb people not genius. Remember what kind of people is your target.
Troy, you mean like the ‘lady’ screaming about the “fee BamaPhone” during the 2010 elections?
Why didn’t anyone (including the genius) pick-up on the incorrect positioning of the US and UN flags in the background?
Wow. I didn’t even look at the flags. Never even noticed them.
So is the kid a genius or an idiot savant? I imagine in a couple of years the kid will be so full of Ritalin, he will seem like a different person.
