I don't think the lights "seethe" or "pulsate and move". From the photos at tokyoflash, it looks like there are exactly the right number of each color of LED in fixed positions, and the exact same pattern of "cells" will always be lit to indicate the same time of day. A little bit of the pattern will change only once per minute, and only after pushing a button anyway; as far as I can tell, the face normally displays no lights at all, probably to save power. Tokyoflash's wording seems deceptive about the "pulsating", possibly intentionally so, and from reading the comments here, it seems I wasn't the only one to be misled (for a while).

Has anyone actually seen one to confirm this?

"It's on the list, right between Huaweii and LG"

Aww, foo. I think I was looking for "Apple" since all the other phones are listed by manufacturer, but #18 still holds. On the plus side, maybe I will buy one of these shims now. It would come in handy for international travel.

The omission of the iPhone on the phone compatibility list is glaring. I wonder whether Apple's exclusivity deals have resulted in some extra technical limitation there, or whether it's something more mundane like a really tight fit in the SIM slot.

If she was feeling activisty and not too modest, I hope she pulled the rings out in full view of the entire line to make a point about how stupid the situation was.

Bombs are primarily chemical devices, not electrical ones. Any explosive that requires that much control circuitry isn't a bomb; it's a guided missile.

"I read it in one day" sounds like a poor recommendation to me. When I've done that to a book, either it was because the book was a lightweight, or I later regretted it when I realized I had rushed rather than savored.

Some criticism of the graph as a visual display:

The graph stacks store count serially in the vertical dimension (as a share of the total 152,040 stores counted) but uses information from the horizontal dimension to order the vertical listing. So McDonald's has a thicker slice than Wendy's, indicating more total stores, even though it is lower on the axis. Surface area is displayed horizontally in parallel. The serial/parallel display on the two axes is inconsistent and therefore confusing at first; perhaps more explicit labeling would at least help.

Also, use of apparently multi-dimensional shapes makes it unclear from looking whether the horizontal direction scales linearly, as a simple bar would indicate; or exponentially, corresponding to the actual displayed surface area of the three-circle forms as seen. Either way, there's going to be a visual discrepancy, and again, labels would help.
