The cable (the ever-so-nifty Apple® cable that only Apple manufacture (and because they're the only ones, do it at a rather steep price) because their computers are the only ones with this absolutely brilliant video out port while all the other laptops are stuck in the dark ages with a so-standard-it-hurts VGA out port that almost any monitor can

Ouch!! That sounds really interesting, though. Is there a way to fix it besides giving in to the Apple Of Doom store? This is really the reason I've avoided Mac products as I get older, because I notice they tend to jack up prices on a lot of things that only Apple® manufactures. Also, I still don't understand the concept of jailbreaking. xD

so-standard-it-hurts VGA out port that almost any monitor can be connected to, I mean what fun is that

Heee! It'd be fun if you could go to the store and buy a normal, everyday, universal cable, wouldn't it? ^^

Anyway, back to the color! So, considering your brain is being helpful by giving you some blues and greens, maybe you could do some sort of experiment seeing if the same thing happened in blue, like you said! I say test it. Brain and color-related stuff is always interesting!

The same thing would indeed happen in other colours, I can be certain enough of that that I don't need to wreck another cable trying the experiment. ;) Although, there's probably a software solution for that too

Heee! Well you know me, I'd probably wreck the cable trying to experiment and then live to regret it afterwards. You're the smarter one. xD

Clever little mound of noodles, it is.

That made me LOL! But so true, and a very fascinating study! We have little hue/saturation sliders in our brains. Who knew?

I want to know how someone can make something like that and make a profit and yet Apple has to charge through the nose for it.

Wow, yeah I'd want to know as well! It's the one thing I've noticed about Apple, that they're rather expensive on a lot of things, and I'm not really sure where they justify it. Of course, I say that being an opensource hog at this point. I'll probably never go back, now. xD

I think I typed a Chinese space or something by accident, it won't let me post my reply! Long story short: I want to go Linux too, and will do when I get a new computer. I'll miss a lot of things, mostly iTunes/Address Book/iPod automatic synching, and especially Garageband and iMovie, but hey, things change.
