The Insane Hardware Driving the World's Biggest LED Billboard
In a dusty supply closet at 1 Times Square, a computer terminal hooked up to hordes of ethernet servers, RAID arrays and monitors humbly runs the largest LED sign in the world. The sign, a 3-sided, 17,000-square-foot Goliath, debuted last night at the opening of a Walgreens in New York City. Today, I got to see what makes it tick. More » -

17,000 Square Foot LED Billboard Flipped On at 1 Times Square, Wraps Around Entire Building
When we first wrote about this comically huge Walgreens LED sign — the largest of its kind in the world — construction was just getting under way. That was May, and now they're done. D3 LED, the firm behind the sign, finally turned on this 17,000 square foot, 340ft tall, three-sided tribute to technical and commercial excess — and what timing! But before we start challenging the rationale behind displaying 300ft moving Tampax ads, it's worth looking at the extraordinary tech inside this thing. More »

Walgreens Building Time Square's Largest Billboard
We don't normally think of glitz when we think of Walgreens, but maybe that's entirely the point. The company is building the world's "most complex, powerful and digitally advanced" sign to hover over their new flagship store. And 17,000 feet of it is covered with 12 million LEDs capable of producing a trillion colors. But that's only part of the sign. More »

Walgreens Offering Free Photo Prints
Later today, I'll be sending the government a painful, sizable check. Luckily, Walgreens has my recent drop in net worth covered by offering 15 free 4x6 prints. Just create a Walgreens photo account (or use one that you already have) and check out with the code TAXDAY. I know, you're wondering, "What will I possibly do with printed photography?" Send some shots to your grandma. It'll make herdaymonth. [walgreens via crunchgear][image] -

Burn-Your-Favorite-Cult-Classic DVD Kiosk Coming To Walgreens
New ideas are needed to keep the tumbleweeds from blowing through the Walgreens photo department, and the latest is a burn-your-own-DVD kiosk, specializing in the rare and out-of-print. We were the first to report on the DVD Copy Control Association voting to approve the "DVD Download" CSS format. But many of you complained that it would require special blank discs, and would still cost the same as a download for your iPod. In this case, Walgreens would supply the special discs and Sonic burning software, and in about 15 minutes, ordinary people would get their own copies of "older and more niche content selections" that don't pay to produce down at the DVD factory.
