          If a screenshot can capture it, it MUST be programmed that way. If it was a hardware issue (like a bad monitor), it wouldn't capture.

                  Almost looks like you've got a magnet close by.

                      white spot

                      It just looks like a color gradient...instead of having a flat-looking, one-color background, Microsoft made this background look a little fancier by fading out the color

                          just went to other pc, i have the demon!



                          went back to other one, it's there too! i couldn't tell because of the glare/sunlight.

                          i think phishman's hypothesis is rock-solid.
