Once again the giving season has descended upon us like a Harpie from the seventh circle of hell. If you are reading this we will assume that you have some sort of interest or career in information technology so you need to be prepared to give appropriate geek gifts. Geeks who distribute lame or uncool tech gifts will be banned to a fate far worse than the seventh circle.
The Basic Rules
First some ground rules. Rule #1: Never select a tech present that you would not want to use (or be seen using) yourself. That means that you can't give your nephews those 17 inch, 10 pound, 2 GB, first generation AMD laptops that are on sale at you know where for $199. There is a reason they are cheaper than a decent smart phone. You can also get a good deal on day old bread at the bakery if you don't mind a little mold.
