Farmers are sort of life hackers, even if most hacking is made about a Cardan Joint. When I speak about the uses of technology in the countryside, I sometimes refer to the need of a "digital cardan" instead of a "killer application".

it's hardly traditional farming here anyway, all my beasties are just there to chill and hopefully enjoy a good life . They all enjoy Digestive biccies and the sheepies in particular like their cuddles .

and if you take a step into the quaint looking cottage most people are surprised to find that it looks like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise in here :P

Why it is so? Who knows? Or they prepared the pic in Photoshop?
And it has a thin film with all these color words...
There may be several reasons.

One thing you are right about is that the photo has been processed. Look at the frame; there are only four or five whites in there, you can actually see the lines where they border.

This may mean that somebody turned this picture into an indexed file before saving as JPEG (which is silly, but definitely happens when you ask marketing to deliver you a photo), or the photo has undergone a operation in which the colours are stretched. This is often use to make underexposed photos look less dull and more lively.

However, the screen may actually be this white. There exist LCDs with white instead of green background, AFAIK.

Ah yes, that would explain the file name. Well, in that case I guess they cranked up the contrast in Photoshop. As I said, the low amount of whites on the frame would indicate that.

I guess Irex also doctored some photos; the standalone shots of the Iliad seem to have an artificial drop shadow.
