    Another reason RGB backlighting is better than simply white LEDs is because many white LEDs work by emitting blue light, which excites a substance that fluoresces yellow, filling in the "white" light, but that results in uneven colour that you may notice with cheap LED flashlights looks kind of "hollow" or strange.


    Also, the human eye is more sensitive to variations of green, and for that reason you also see RGBG pixel arrays in things like image sensors and a few displays.

    Did this really need an explanation? Lower power consumption, more uniform light fill, less toxic, thinner panels.

    There's your article.

    @cash907: Not everything can be easily understood in just a few words. If life itself were to be thoroughly explained in a sentence spanning no more than five words, the singularity created by this compact set of supreme insight and understanding would probably undo existence, or at least suck in all celestial bodies in the vacinity.

    @Skeetz: The terrible downside to succeeding in actually capturing the essence of life in total in a single, succinct sentence, is that no one would be able to appreciate it, not even you, since the instant you come to that epiphany, you blip out of existence.

    Now I may be wrong here: You mention the Macbook Pro has an edge-lit LED, but don't the newer regular white and unibody Macbooks have the same tech?

    @.357: Haha! Right on... I just replaced a super-awesome Samsung 30" widescreen CRT last week. It was a "slim depth" model. You know it! P.S., I went plasma :)


    Anyone who reads this can have the old tv, as long as they come and carry it away, themselves.

    @henhen: Yeah. It's time lapse, and not real time. As for the tight groupings, there's a reason Border Collies are the smartest dog. They can be taught complex commands such as direction, and if you get 4 "teams" of dogs, each trained to a certain command/whistle, you can do this pretty easily. The hardest part is what this must have taken in "real time".
