I don't know how else to describe it, and I found no other reference to this issue anywhere else.
Near the middle, at the top of the LCD is what looks like a brownish glue (I'm assuming it's glue, it could be anything), that has dripped down internally. It extends in a ragged manner, down as low as about 1/2 inch below the menu bar at the lowest point. Trust me - it doesn't come off with external cleaning, and this model has no glass. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that it's some wacky manufacturing defect that has evolved over time, but it's really only noticeable at the login screen or any time when there's no wallpaper, or menu bar. I have Apple care, which I believe expires in around March of '09. So:
Any ideas what it might be?
Given that functionally, the machine is fine otherwise, and taking advantage of Apple Care would mean being without it, and who knows, perhaps a more serious dilemma than what I have now (you know how it goes - or can go):
Would you haul it into the Apple store and get it fixed? Live with it?
