MacBook Pro Blue Tint Issue

I recently bought myself a 15″ MacBook Pro with glossy screen option. I’ve noticed that, on several occasions, after waking the computer from the screensaver that there is a blue tint to the display. Up until now I’ve simply put forced the screensaver to start to get rid of it, or ignored it thinking my eyes were going weird.

Anyway, I found an article today where Ben Lam discusses the issue and posts a possible fix. I’ve applied the fix he says and I’ve not noticed it occuring since, although I’ve only had the screensaver appear a few times since I actually applied it so it might still appear.

So, thanks Ben for stopping by blue screen!

WordPress for iPhone

I’m writing this from the Wordpress application for the iPhone. It’s a completely native and Apple approved application that you can get for free from the Apple AppStore for your iPhone or iTouch.

The app is apparently the first open source application to be included in the AppStore - a fact that many sources are reporting as controversial due to the strict NDA that Apple has imposed on the developers. Most developers thought the NDA would be lifted as soon as the AppStore went live, but it appears not.

The full source for the application is available from the Automattic subversion repository.

Here are some screenshots of WordPress in action on the iPhone.
