found this on slashdot

    Basically, the sRGB spec is no longer sRGB, and colour managed applications that use ColorSync are completely hosed. Almost everything is more saturated then it should be. Towers of bug reports have been filed on this alone and absolutely nobody has received a response from Apple, which makes me think it's some retarded "stylistic choice" of theirs to literally try and make the OS "look better" (it doesn't).

    So, basically, if you rely on OS X for colour accurate work, you're totally fucked.

Good idea to wait two weeks before major updates to anything important to your daily activities or production.

I've noticed that on most Macs everything is more saturated than it should be. It may look good, but its not accurate.

I saw that it disconnected my custom color calibration, but the profile was still there, so I reconnected it thinking it put it back to how it was. It looks like I'm going to need to take a closer look.
