Gradient / Highlight / Glow at Bottom of Screen (15" i7)

I've already spoken with an Apple rep about this, and have an appt. to take my 15" i7 into the nearest store this weekend. However, I wanted to toss this out there and see if anyone else has seen this issue on their 2010 MBP. I'll describe what I'm seeing as best I can.
This issue is most obvious when a solid color is chosen for the desktop (or I have a large canvas in Photoshop with a solid color).
At the bottom of the screen, I have what I can only describe as a "glow" emanating upward about an inch. Imagine it as a faint gradient/highlight. I noticed it on my first-ever boot up, so I'm suspecting something naughty happened during its trip from China (probably had another box setting on top of it, or it got tossed around by the carriers).
The rest of the screen is fine, but at the bottom I have this odd glow... as if a little light is being cast up onto my screen. Viewing angle doesn't get rid of it either, just alters its brightness, as would be expected.

i got my 15" i7 HR glossy macbook pro yesterday, just like Webmaestro, i noticed the EXACT screen back-light bleeding behavior on my machine during it's first boot up.
however, beside this back-light bleeding, the screen is beautiful, very bright & crispy color, no yellow tinge , no dead or stuck pixels.
been going through several 27" yellow iMac nightmares in the past few months. right now i am struggling and worry if i'd get a replacement macbook pro which would come up with something even worst than what i am having now.
did some researches on the internet and found this :

those images also show some subtle backlight bleeding at the bottom of the 2010 macbook pro screens which makes me think that there's actually no perfect apple laptop screen that ever exist. (…i got a 5 years old dell and a 3 years old sony laptop both are with the same resolution and their screen has zero backlight bleeding, very even back light illumination. )
i am wondering if it is just me being too picky for a perfect apple screen that will never exist?
the apple stores lighting here in ginza is just too bright that i could not check and see if there's any backlight bleeding on those macbook pros on display. Genius are nice but i know what exactly they are going to tell me if i ever ask them if my machine's screen is normal.
maybe there are many many other 2010 macbook pro owners who got the same backlight bleeding screens but they just don't ever care about that much?
if ALL macbook pro has this kind of "subtle" backlight bleeding behavior. i am cool with my machine; but if this problem belongs to the apple QC department, i am not sure if i want to get myself into another never ending replacement/return loop again after the very bad 27"imac experience.
here's the data of my screen: 9CB6, LTN154MT07.
thank you for reading, just wanna share some thoughts…
cheers.

IPhone 5 green glow at bottom of screen when 'woken up'

Got my black 16GB iPhone 5 from phones4u on the 17th November 2012. 2 weeks after I had it, I noticed a green glow appear at the bottom of the screen when I pressed one of the buttons to wake it up. This only happened when the phone had been locked for 5 minutes or more. Gradually, it started happening after every time I woke the phone up. I put up with it as I didn't think I'd be able to get it repaired/replaced. On the 20th December, the lock button on top of the phone started to not work on the right hand side, only worked if I pressed the left side of the button. Enough was enough and I made an appointment with a genius at my nearest apple store (Birmingham). I went to my appointment on the 5th January. The genius was really helpful and he replaced my phone there and then. Yesterday I started to notice a slight green glow around the bottom of the screen when it has been 'sleeping' for around 10 minutes. I have had this new phone less than a week and I am pretty hacked off. I don't know whether to go back and explain the problem and how angry I am, as I never had this trouble with my iPhone 4! It's not affecting use of the phone but it's an annoying trait considering the cost of it!
Is anyone else experiencing this?

How do I get Javascript to work? It is enabled in options but nothing happens when I select something that begins "javascript" on the status bar at the bottom of screen.

When I tried to download a file from the Canon U.S.A, I clicked on the "I agree - begin download" button and nothing happened. The information in the status bar at bottom of screen, when the mouse cursor is over the download button is "javascript:downloadFile()". I got following from the error console -
Error: The stylesheet http://www.usa.canon.com/wsss/GeneratedPages/wsss_xsl/global.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
Source File: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/i_series/i950_series?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware
There were also many warnings about parsing of commands.
This sort of thing seems to happens whenever whenever javascript is involved.

I checked out the "Unable to download or save files" section. The only thing that seemed applicable was the "Reset download actions" section. I renamed the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old but it didn't seem to have any effect on downloading the file I wanted. There was still no response when I asked for the download.
I have noticed another problem that occurs when I try to download this file. I exit Firefox, then try to restart it. But nothing happens. I have discovered that in the Task Manager that the Firefox process is still running. When I end the Firefox process in the Task Manager, I am then able to restart Firefox.
By the way, I am able to download the file using Internet Explorer without difficulty.

I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

Horizontal bar showing desktop bottom of screen

I clicked or tapped something on my doc, now a 1 inch horizontal bar runs along bottom of screen showing desktop

I have no clue what that means! Lol.... Sorry. I did remove "dock from view", I have restarted the computer. I forgot how to take a screen snapshot, but again, just a horizontal bar along bottom, showing desktop. Dock, if visible sits on top of it, if I go to "full screen" bottom showing desktop disappears.
Again, when I tapped with two fingers, or right clicked or tapped with one finger....cannot replicate it, it just appeared pushing whatever window I have open up an inch and showing my desktop.

It looks like an unstyled background in your frameset. You'd
be better

How to keep icons displayed on bottom of screen

one to keep icons displayed on bottom of screen to make switching between programs easier

You can only access the recent apps by double tapping the home button or by swiping up from the bottom of the screen if you enable multi-tasking gestures on your iPad. Go to Settings>General>Multitasking Gestures>On. If you enable that setting - you can also swipe across the screen to switch between running/open apps.

Taskbar gone when i put it at the bottom on screen. help me???

I'm use window 7 starter pack for netbook.
The problem is my taskbar out of screen when i put it at the bottom on screen. If i set at up on screen it can be visible.
and also happen when i open folder at maximize , the part of bottom folder out of screen ( can't visible / not fit my netbook screen)
the point of my problem i think is my windows display out of my bottom netbook screen.
i already reiinstall the windows software and update windows, but it still not work out.
can somebody or someone help me...
many thanks before.

Hi meysia,
The main issue is we won`t see the taskbar if we locate it at the bottom of the screen ,right ?
Did the issue occur recently or it shows the symptom all the time ?
If the issue occurred recently ,I recommend you reinstall your display adapters driver from the device manager .You may need to manually download the driver from the manufacturer for the netbook.
What is the present resolution of the netbook ?
We can change the resolution of the machine to have a check .
Right click the desktop , choose "Screen resolution","Resolution"
If the issue persists and it occured recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous normal point .Please note you will lose some configurations after the restore point.
Best regards
