14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed, who made headlines last week after he was arrested for bringing a homemade clock into school, has already received praise from a number of familiar names such as Barack Obama and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. Now, to Mohamed’s further delight, tech giants Microsoft have pledged their allegiance to the whizz-kid in generous fashion.

The multinational technology firm expressed their support for Ahmed, not through kind words, but by sending the young engineer a huge hamper of tech goodies, including a Cube 3D printer.

Geez, this little moderate muslim could grow up and make better bombs than Tsarnov used in Boston. Or do a better job than the young Chattanoga shooter.

I have always hated Microsoft. Of course they are going to be on the wrong side of this.

As to be expected from Micro$loth.

Must have been daddy. I blame certain “groups”, too. Like those making excuses for 9/11 in one form or another over the years.

When is Saudi Arabia going to send something nice to a. Christian student who brings an electronic device into his school?

We are really too stupid to have a country.

Hey it's Rico Suave and Junior!

Junior is in Colorado now, not sure why he hasn't been sent here to Terre Haute yet.

Welcome to Indiana, Junior!

Wiring together a clock chip, a battery compartment and a display hardly makes you a genius.

Either Microsoft is soft in the head, or they just responded because they thought it looked good ...

I had to agree with Bill Mahr (bleh)

“the school called the police about a bomb because, well, the think looked like a fucken bomb.”

After Alia Salem, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Dallas-Fort Worth chapter, tweeted a photo of a Ahmed with his gifts on Saturday, Microsoft replied via Twitter: ‘Enjoy… we can’t wait to see what you create with it all!’

Note to Microsoft; Be careful what you wish for!

Welcome.
Cassette players are obsolete these days and only of interest to collectors.
But back then, they were ubiquitous.

I wonder what other items these days could be hollowed out and go unnoticed due to the sheer number seen everywhere?

They gave a 3D printer to as aspiring bomb maker. I just don’t understand the left’s vehement appeasement of Islam. Is it because they feel it’s a hedge against Islam? Seriously, why? Islam is steadfastly opposed to most of the left’s tenets..

The boys picture, the pictures of his arrest, the release of his name prove that this entire story is a setup. He is a minor, the police and the school would not release photos of this. It is against the law and the timing is too quick. It seems like the story came to us fully formed, without the run-up of an “unnamed student” being detained and arrested for a violation of the policy of bring a weapon to school. Then after it is found out the weapon was a clock and the school and police were wrong, it would have been nearly a week. Then the media would have been informed of that would take another few days. Instead the entire story came out at nearly the same time as the offers from Ovomit, MIT etc. This story SCREAMS SET UPPPPPPPP.
