Oh, come on. The effect of blue and red light on alertness has been well known for decades. What f.lux is doing is trivial, and not some rocket-science innovation to get upset about …and there's certainly no research that they've done on this topic.

I myself have been switching the color settings on my Macs to accomodate for this for more than 10 years now (way before f.lux). A simple AppleScript that automatically switches Display Profiles by time of day. Sure, you can add some bells and whistles but the idea is exactly the same. I welcome Apple's move to add this to the system as a pure convenience factor.
