Set your stall out early doors. If you're a developer I recommend a wolf t-shirt, three quarter length shorts, sandals and white sports socks. get a proper gut as well. massive beard for extra brownie points.

You forgot the braces - you need braces to hold the shorts up.
And a belt as backup.
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

how could I forget?
the braces need comedy IT-related things on them and the belt needs adorning with a mobile device holster too.

Only one? Where will you put your retro-pager? Your reverse-polish calculator?

Dammit, I'm just not cut out for the job! 
On a similar note, our IT support manager has a handheld CB radio. Takes it with him on company days out. Legend.

In public?
He doesn't trust this new-fangled cellular radio system then?

Damn right. We all went on a skiing trip at the start of the year. We're both in the group of people that doesn't ski or snowboard so we just went up the mountain to drink beer and take pictures. He was using the altitude to talk to people over the airwaves. Respect.

Dress as your WoW character.
|
|
|
|
|
Suit and tie (or business trousers, shirt and tie) is a safe bet. Even if you can dress down when you actually get the job, no-one's going to criticise you for wearing it.

Depends.. if it's one of those new hipster companies, you'd be "the old suit".
|

In the pre-interview phone call you should always ask what work place attire is for the office. You should then dress one level up.
Them: Shorts and T-Shirt
You: Dockers and Button Shirt no tie
Them: Dockers and Button Shirt
You: Pants and Pressed Shirt
Them: Business Casual
You: Pants, Pressed Shirt, either tie or really nice shoes
Them: Business Professional
You: Tuxedo ... or Business Professional, with really nice shoes
Them: Tuxedo
You: Vestments
I can't over emphasize this enough. Clean, well maintained shoes really help. More so than a watch.

Vestments... 
|
|
|
|

Right now, business casual is THE thing. Basically, nice pants and an open collar, button-up shirt and nice shoes.
As for age, I just finished doing lots of interviews and found that nobody cared about my age (50). If anything it gave a slight edge since the hiring companies wanted truly senior engineers. (I do think it helped that, at least where I live, there is a bubble of sorts of engineers around my age, plus or minus ten years. I probably represent the average age of my current group.)

Sometimes I'll do dress shirt + blazer with a pair of nice pants. Not exactly a suit, but dressy. not me: [^] [^]
|

I am going to go with the suit and tie group on this one.
I wish you luck in your search there in Omaha. I was forced to leave the area a couple of years ago, but have landed nicely just a bit south. Let me know if you would be able/interested in a relocation. I know of a job or two. . . .

Pricing announced:
"It will be offered with 64GB of storage for $899 or 128GB of storage for $999. Neither price includes one of Microsoft's keyboards, which add at least another $99."
seems pricey to me, coming in at over a grand for one with a keyboard makes for an expensive tablet - though not, I suppose, an expensive laptop - assuming performance is up to it...
I await one of you rich-folk to try one out for me

I really want one of those. But come on guys, for $999 I should get a keyboard.
