The prototype still has issues

I've had the honor of helping out on this prototype, and I can assure you that it still has its share of problems. Yes, most kinks will be out by the time we start mass producing them, but, for now, lets just say you'll have a hard time finding pictures of it except those in this article and the press releases.

Back up your claims.
Its mostly the refresh rates, especially on 'pixels' that change drastically in color. Its been an issue with all OLED panels.
There is also a lot of legal issues.
I've already said too much, and if I get caught, I'll be the one with legal issues.
Sorry to disappoint your skepticism.

The "O" in "OLED" stands for organic. Basically they have a bunch of bacterii inside these monitors and they zap them to make them light up like fireflies (it's more complicated than that, obviously). But what about when the bacterii inevitably escape? What kind of environmental and human health impact could that have? Have the EPA and FDA taken a look at OLEDs yet?

*BSD is dying

It is official; Netcraft confirms: *BSD is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community
when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now
down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the
heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has
lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've
known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly
exemplified by failing
dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to
predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a
bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because
*BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of
us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows
like a river of blood.
FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core
developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD
developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the
point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is
dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How
many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus
NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there
are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about
half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users
of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD
market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD
users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD
went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another
troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to
yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market
share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very
dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante
dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save
it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
