"you like thats gonna happen! this isnt a harry potter movie!"Uh, do you know anything about OLEDs?? If you did, you wouldn't be a skeptic. I suggest reading the wikipedia article xerves posted.
So who is going to buy this?The same dippy idiot who clicks on spam adverts, that's who. Why pay extra money for an animated advertisment on how to use preparation H in a magazine? I can watch them for free on TV. Sheesh, they seem to be pandering to the ritalin addicts these days."Mmmmmmmmm...., shiny, must have it."
I think this is a device based on organic, conjugated polymers. We're doing research on it here at Imperial College. D D C Bradley has co-invented it I believe, he's currently at Imperial College London.
For ads.. kinda sucks, depending on the ad, and how often they appear. Unfortunately advertising agencies are the ones showing the most interest. I think at first it'll be damn cool, because many Geeks day dream of being in a world that looks and feels more furturistic, but when the market for this really takes off and everyone starts doing it all at once as competitors try and out do one another it will most surely be quite annoying. =
If we could give up our pot prohibition we could start making paper out of good ol' hemp like they did for the Constitution and leave a few more trees alone. I wonder how we're gonna feel about throwing these magical magazines away when we're done with them??? Will they get a special recycling bin??? Do they come with their own battery???
