Think You’re A Mac Fan? How About a $1,300 LED Logo Shirt

mac shirt

Freelance journalist and Mac fanatic Domenico Panacea wanted to get his hands on this Philips Lumalive t-shirt with an integrated LED screen.

“Wanted” is perhaps an understatement: Panacea forked over €900 euros (about $1,300)  to spend a month with the scintillant shirt.

Normally used for publicity stunts — like this one where pretty young women attract attention for an ice cream in Istanbul — the shirts have 128MB of memory that can blink out 10 minutes of text, images and animations at 40 fps. They glow for four hours at a time before needing a recharge.

(More pics and video after the jump.)

But the regular characters weren’t enough for Panacea: he programmed an Apple logo into his to be able to wear his favorite company on his chest.

DON'T MISS

That’s some serious cult of mac. Take heart, though, less flush fan boys/girls can always light up their disco nights with the ready-to-wear version.

    Fabulous investment.

    Instead, I will declare my love for Apple by having Steve Jobs’ face branded on my butt.

    I thought having an ‘Apple’ tattoo was being part of a cult, but that definitely tops my tattoo. http://twitpic.com/h2x45
