One of the most influential technology websites today is AnandTech. Its USP is that it is not like other technology websites. It is not for the common man or even for the common geek. It is for the geekiest geeks. It doesn’t come out with a 500-word review the day a phone comes out. It plays with that phone for ages and produces a 15-page review that gets deep into the chips. So it is understandable that the site was founded by a geek. What is astonishing is that the geek was 14 when he founded what would soon become one of the greatest technology websites. That geek is Anand Lal Shimpi, who last month retired at the age of 32 from his own website and joined Apple to potentially help them with their chipsets. Shimpi has a degree in Computer Engineering from the North Carolina State University. Long before he joined the university, he started AnandTech in 1997 and reviewed motherboards on desktop computers. Known for his long-form analysis and reviews of everything from phones to server computers, Shimpi has been featured in publications like Fortune and USA Today. He was a keynote speaker at Asia’s largest technology fair Computex in Taiwan in 2003. Now at Apple, he is expected to contribute to the company’s computing capabilities.
