Something good out of something bad: Microsoft Seriously Hooked up Ahmed Mohamed After That Clock BS

Microsoft hooked up Ahmed Mohamed with a giant box of gifts after he was arrested for building a clock that police said looked like a bomb.

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.
