I have a white MacBook and today in Safari when I was scrolling down web pages they started to slowly turn black and white and eventually fade away. (As shown) I'm not exactly sure why this happened, and when I quit that session of Safari it didn't do it anymore. The only reason that I'm worried is because my 1 year warranty runs out in 3 days... I don't want it to start acting up after my warranty is up. Do you think this was a one time thing or it may start to do it again in the future when I don't have a warranty anymore?
Got a tip for us?

I've never seen anything like that before. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's hardware related, because it's only affecting the content in the Safari window, not the Safari window itself. My guess is that it was some kind of a hickup in Safari's rendering of web content.
Hm... most likely hardware.
Take it into the Apple store. Genius Bar appointment. You should know the drill.
I agree. Try the same page in Firefox. See what happens. It might be Safari or it may be some back end frameworks/plugins. You may have to reinstall Safari if the problem persists.
I have the EXACT same problem! In fact, it's occurring as we speak. Usually it only happened in Safari (probably due to the fact that Safari is the app I scroll in 95% of the time), but now it's happening in Aperture as well. I just launched Mail, but the problem is not visible there, nor is it visible in Firefox.
