Ask TUAW: What the heck is up with my MacBook's graphics

Tom Kim is having an odd problem with his MacBook. It seems that the integrated graphics card on the motherboard is a little wonky. He gets odd attracting around menus and windows (as can been seen at the right). Sometimes when he wakes his MacBook from sleep the Dock is completely replaced with static.

Having seen Tom's MacBook in person I recommended that he get himself to an Apple Store and have a Genius take a look (and most likely replace the entire machine or at least the motherboard).

Anyone else seeing problems like this on their MacBooks? So far my MacBook (Janus is his name) has exhibited no odd behavior (other than being hot), but I would be interested to see if anyone else has graphics issues like Tom.
