1 Apple = 213 Karats
How much would you pay for a computer with no monitor, keyboard, or even a power supply? Try $213,600—or £133,250—the fetching price for the original Apple 1 computer at Christie’s in London last week. That’s 425 times the original price of $666.66 for a computer that goes 1000 times slower than the iPad.
Too slow? Sorry, there’s no app for that.
THINK 4D
Ralph Lauren celebrates 10 years of digital innovation by creating a 4D experience on the facade of their flagship store in London. The impressively elaborate light show projected transformer-like shifts of the building to create a runway for 4 story tall models, product displays, and a game field for some gigantic… you guessed it, polo players!
Ping Me
Here in New York, we recently saw a bunch of pianos set up around the city for people to play. Now, the group that organized London’s pianos last year (we’re round two) is putting up ping pong tables all around the British capital. Called “Ping!“, the project is the kickoff to the countdown to the London Olympics. 100 tables are set up in parks, museums, and even St. Pancras and Heathrow.
