Just announced: La Cie blue eye pro Monitor Calibrator Proof Edition
A lot of us might not care that the color on our screens doesn't precisely match reality, but for most designers color matching is a crucial part of their work. That's why they use monitor calibration systems like the new La Cie blue eye pro Proof Edition (US$429.99) to make sure that what they see on the screen is exactly what they'll see on a finished product.The blue eye pro Proof Edition is the blue puck that you see on the left side of the photo illustration at right. It supports monitor calibration and profiling and can provide UGRA (Swiss Center of Competence for Media and Printing Technology) soft proof testing and reporting.
La Cie has announced immediate availability of the blue eye pro Proof Edition, which is compatible with the Adobe Creative Suite, QuarkXPress, Aperture and other design and photography applications. it requires Mac OS X 10.4.5 or later on Intel Macs, as well as a USB port for connectivity.

So they will be grateful for you to mention it. You don't explain how it works (or even if it works), whether you or anybody you know has tried it, whether there are better or cheaper solutions available -- you just wrote it up.
Great journalism.
It's hard to believe that LaCie is not paying you (or tuaw) for this.

Wow, this is some poor reporting. Just a few things to mention.
La Cie, pretty sure that's LaCie.
"blue puck" that's called a spectrophotometer, this is most likely a rebranded X-Rite Eye One and the software included is also rebranded ProfileMaker but that's just a guess.
All in all this article tells me nothing other than that this TUAW writer has no idea what he just wrote.
