There’s quite a number of you Apple users out there that use Boot Camp to run Windows naitively on another partition. When Apple released their 3.1 drivers (64-bit version here), most of us  jumped the gun, downloaded it and installed it. With it brings support for the new wireless magic mouse, official support for Windows 7, and a couple of other stuff.

Wait a second, why are my colors brighter? My reds look like they’re about to vomit all over my screen. The new 3.1 update automatically adds “digital vibrance” (i.e. “enhancements”). I wouldn’t call this an enhancement. It looks horrid.

In the NVidia Control Panel, under Adjust desktop color settings, you can see that the third option, which is Digital vibrance is bumped up all the way to 79%. That’s right, that’s the default. Apple is blinding you by enhancing the colors to make up for the fact that they put 16 bit LCD panels in Macbook Pros, even though these were advertised of displaying “millions of colors”.

Thankfully, you can turn it completely off. Just set the slider all the way to the left to turn off the disgusting explosive diarrhea of colors. You’ll have to do this to a second monitor you may attach as well.

Once again, Tom is proving the impossible and making a contraption that converts an analog tape into digital gameboy data.

He’s going to have a detailed guide coming up in the near future.
