I foolishly assumed the screenshots I took would reflect what I was seeing, and I sent them without reviewing them. I suspect if I'd used an SLR and adjusted the shutter speed correctly the effect would have been apparent. I might try that if I feel motivated this weekend.
Uh, you guys are saying that the anti-aliasing / sub-pixel hoohaa / <insert more techie terms here> is doing something non-static, i.e. it varies over time on a static page/screen?
Like flickering a pixel component on a 10,20,30,40,50,whatever Hz basis to cause some visual affect on the font that is supposed to be appealing?
Man, I thought the crap tech Microsoft was using in WinXP was bad enough. If it's doing something that inherently "flickers" then I think I'd actually go insane.
