You are meeting with South Korean President, Lee Myung-bak and are one of the world's wealthiest people. What do you bring?
Bundt cake perhaps? Oh, maybe some vintage wine? But wait, you're Bill Gates so maybe a super computer!?
No, that's too boring; instead Gates gave the South Korean President a mother of pearl encrusted Xbox 360. This gift is unfortunately not unique. Gates had 100 of these tacky Xbox 360s commissioned with the expensive inlay to be used as "extra special" gifts.
Let this be a warning for you: Don't be inviting Bill and Melinda Gates over for dinner any time soon or you may end up with a tacky gift.
- your tech guy, Biff.
