What do these numbers mean? Do they carry any meaning or is it a random selection of designers Apple? Website offers a look into the matter together with the main developer of Secret Lab by John Manning.
John tried to solve this riddle, assessing mathematical formulas and comparing date, but to no avail. At the end of the day, he decided that this phenomenon is no reasonable explanation. When in January, Apple introduced the iPad, and the screen again appeared mysterious numbers, he realized that it can not be a coincidence.

We want to the point where a large image of a new device appears on the screen, while it was close to that show the clock in the hall. But we know that exactly 40 minutes, we did not succeed. »
