A tip we’ve received from an Apple Store employee indicates that Apple will be putting up celebratory LED window displays at Apple Stores, showing a stylised ‘3’ and a ‘Happy birthday, Mac’ message. iPhones and iPads in the window will reportedly be removed. The graphic came via special SD card.
Boxes of special t-shirts have arrived for the occasion (photo below the fold) …
If you see the window displays go up at your local store, please send photos to the tips email or Twitter account.

‘If you see the window displays go up at your local story’, more like store. Again, you’re welcome.
;-) good one.
Thanks, we know where to come for proof-reading services :-)
LOL!!! XD
I actually have a Genius Bar appointment early tomorrow morning (not looking forward to that as the store almost always overcrowded) so I’ll snap and send pictures if they have it set up like that.
Happy birthday Mac.
Does anybody have any info about whether those LED signs are somehow purchasable by consumers. I can’t find anything. Manager at our local store couldn’t find anything either.
I haven’t seen anything especially for this, but there’s this Designer, Ingo Maurer, who has made a glass table with embedded tiny LEDs. They are really tiny any barely visible. He also made a project in a french mall (Lafayette) where the glass railing is embedded with theses LEDs.
Here’s a story (with some pictures) about those LED Glass panels.

Apparently those glass panels are called “powerglass Balustrade” and are from a german manufacturer Glas Platz ( http://www.glas-platz.de ). But don’t expect it do be cheap ;)

“The graphic came via a special SD Card.”…… That thing has to be run by a Raspberry Pi and a couple of Arduino Unos.
