Holysmoke Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 No, this isn't an April Fool's joke. President Obama met today at Buckingham Palace with the Queen, and our forward thinking commander-in-chief brought along a little tech for gifting purposes. Obama presented Elizabeth II with an iPod containing video from her 2007 visit to the States. In return, the first family received what is apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries to the Palace -- a silver-framed photo of the Queen and her husband. At a glance, it seems like Obama has a thing for gadgets (and related media); he recently handed off a set of DVDs featuring classic American films to Prime Minister Gordon Brown... who was unable to play them due to incorrect region encoding.
Mr. Wicket Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 At that age, with those eyes, I highly doubt QE II would have much use for an iPod. And who the f*** gives commercial DVDs as a gift?
h4te Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 i don't give a damn if he is not a good gifter. but it would be better for his public image if he actually hired someone for this purpose alone.
cowboysfan Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 this thread should have read Queen FAIL.who cares about a picture of her and husband.The IPOD iswasted on the queen though.

DomainK Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I hate this region encoding BS. If I have paid money for a movie, I should be able to play them anywhere in the world.
