Cities have tried a number of exotic solutions to get phone-toting pedestrians to focus on where they're going (or at least, out of the way). However, Seoul thinks there's a simpler answer: traffic signs. The South Korean capital is testing signs t...
How’d you like to set up your very own Apple Genius Bar, so you can act all superior when your friends come over? Well if you’ve got six grand kicking around, you can own an authentic original Apple Genius Bar sign.
Maple Ridge Auction got their hands on this original Genius Bar sign when an Apple Store was remodeled, and it can be yours if you’ve got the dough to spare.
The sign comes with the mounting pegs for the text, and measures about 26″(w) x 29″(h) x 1″(d). This is the perfect thing for a serious Apple fanatic. Of course, whoever installs this shall be required to repair my iPhone 6 Plus the next time its screen starts acting up again.
This cleverly designed urban sign, simply called Index, helps residents and visitors alike find what they are looking for fast! Unlike basic street signs, it provides viewers with an “index” to all the businesses and facilities on a given street. At each crosswalk or intersection, pedestrians can take a quick look to find a new place that strikes their fancy, or easily navigate with their sights set on specific stores. Vid after the jump!

Were you about to buy Oculus Rift when Facebook snatched it? Fuming that Google’s going to get Twitch before you do? Why not aim for some low-hanging fruit? This June, Bonhams will be auctioning off two of Apple’s old headquarters signs. The rainbow-striped signs were displayed outside Apple’s buildings, probably from around the late 70s – when Rob Janoff designed the logo – until 1997, when Apple began favoring the minimalist style that still pervades today.
The larger sign measures 46 x 49 x 1 inches and is made of stiff foam, while the smaller sign measures 33.5 x 36 x 6 inches and is made of fiberglass with metal backing. Both signs are a bit worn out, but will surely become more valuable with time. Unless Apple implodes and is promptly forgotten. Hmmm. Bonhams expects the pair will sell for $10,000 to $15,000 (USD), but maybe you should steal the Android sculptures on Google’s lawn instead. Just to stay ahead of the curve.
