I though this was an interesting read, I usually keep some tape over mine anyway, because it is so easy to do and I rarely use my webcam.

What do you guys think? I have heard that most built in webcams are not able to have this done because the light is hardwired into the circuit that the cam is on, but it sounds like there are some that don't have this.

Interesting read, not surprised though, it's a macberk. We had a discussion about it here.
