Apple gnomes

As of this morning, the white lines on the screen are only intermittent: when I open the laptop, the lines appear for about thirty seconds and then vanish, leaving the correct pixels in place. (I'm not sure what the exact mechanism is, but I do know that it's not just that there are white lines masking the correct pixels; I'm just describing what it looks like.)

I'm sure that this is a symptom of something else, but for now it's nice to be able to parse what's on the screen without having to interpolate every other pixel.

Computer troubles suck.

Agreed. Especially when they're my own damn fault...

I don't know, at least then you don't have to blame the company and feel helpless.

Hurrah for visibility!

I'm not sure what's causing it, but my screen had a similar instance after I dropped it. Mine wasn't lines, though; I had a fuzzy splotch that wasn't in the middle but wasn't far enough towards the edge to not be annoying. It resolved itself in a few days, though.
