comment Calibrating the hardware LUT of the NEC PA271W…can third-party calibrators be used?
When I was doing some reading on the same topic, one source of confusion was that people use the term "Spyder" to refer to two different things: either to refer to the old first-generation device (pre-Spyder2), or to refer to the whole family of products (including Spyder2, Spyder3, etc.). Some remarks of Spyder's poor support of wide-gamut displays seems to be specific to the first-generation device.

comment Why is aspheric glass expensive?
If you take two pieces of glass, one concave and one convex, and simply start rubbing those against each other (both rotating and sliding, in all possible directions), you will eventually have two spherical lenses. If you search for "telescope lens grinding" @ youtube, you will find plenty of videos of very low-tech approaches that produce fairly good spherical lenses.

comment in Aperture 3, how do I adjust one picture while viewing multiple?
I think the "primary only" button is what you are looking for; see, e.g., dpnotes.com/apple-aperture-3 and photo.rwboyer.com/2010/03/25/… for more information.

comment Why is custom white balance in Canon DSLR's so cumbersome?
@MikeW: Your raw processor has a different idea of white balance correction anyway in comparison with your camera. I really do not see any point in trying to get it "right" in camera. It is so much easier to simply shoot a grey card, and use it to set WB in post.
