The seeing eye.

You know, the new macs (and PCs for that matter, since I hear many PC notebooks are the same way) are a little Orwellian. What's that little camera doing when you're not using it as a webcam? Is big brother watching you?

On a related note: Have you ever thought about the fact that auto-flushing toilets are just little robots watching you pee?

Hey, whatever floats their little silicon boat. :)

I'm fairly sure all video cameras should have a hardwired activity light. Actually run directly in line with the CCD power.
There's a number of websites dealing with remotely activating the cameras in modern camera phones and having them send snapshots/video to you. Possible without the cameras owner knowing.

Ooh, kinky!

Though, does that really help much?

It's weird. I only have problems with humans watching me pee. Not robots or cats although in the latter case, cats get bored with the way that you are peeing and not petting them, and tend to go away pretty quickly.

Actually, I think it's that cats see you peeing and get "privacy vibes" like they do when other cats are peeing. Of course, I've never had a cat who liked to watch me pee, so I dunno.
