Microsoft Seriously Hooked up Ahmed Mohamed After That Clock BS
Microsoft is the latest member of the tech community showing its support for Texas high school student Ahmed Mohamed after he was accused building a "hoax bomb" that was actually just a clock that the scientifically curious teen had built inside a pencil case.
The tech giant hooked up Mohamed with a hell of a gift for a kid with his interests, according to this photo posted to Twitter by Alia Salem, executive director of the Dallas Council on American-Islamic Relations, who has served as a sort of spokesperson for Mohamed.

We can see a Surface Pro 3, a Microsoft Band and a 3-D printer in there (what, no Xbox One?), which is a pretty nice haul.
Mohamed has already been invited to the White House by the president and offered a nice opportunity by Twitter.
