Green dot on screen
I have a 900mhz ibook purchased in August that has gone through normal usage, nothing extreme, and has been given the best of treatment, hasnt been tossed around or anything of the sort. But today after watching the last half of a dvd and a little net surfing i noticed a green dot on the mid right side of my screen. What is the correct term for this problem and what can i do to fix it? Is there any utilities? Thanks in advance.

It's a hardware problem with the LCD screen itself and can usually not be fixed without replacing it altogether.
Some people have found that pixels stuck in a certain color can actually be "massaged" back to life with your fingers because of a weak or lose connection, but I don't have details on such a procedure.
Edit: i took a tissue and gently rubbed/massaged the area and it went away! Thanks Brad! But should i have it checked out by a local genius or what?
It certainly would hurt to take it to an Apple store if there is one nearby, but I wouldn't bother with it unless the pixel gets stuck again.
