I am real, just because fishing the password out of a Windows system is about as difficult as putting on a hat is no reason to brag. Darwin isn't quite that easy to own.
And considering I BOUGHT My Macbook Pro I'm hardly concerned. If a webcam scares you that badly a bit of tape about the size of a kernel of corn fixes that no? Why are you are that afraid of a webcam? Stealing many Macbooks?
Besides, I didn't install it, and this wasn't malware, it was installed by the user. Its proof of good security not bad. Do try to stay on topic. When someone writes an exploit that owns the Macbook webcam, then bitch. Till then you are talking out your ass.
Well, I keep waiting for all the security issues, and intruders..... Still waiting. BTW I lock my settings. You can't change any of them without the password. Or install anything. Its called security.
And the light is in the center top of the screen frame. If you can't see a glowing green light at eye level, may I suggest spectacles?
Its part of Photobooth, its to warn you its going to take a "flash" picture for icons or whatever. It flashes by turning the screen brightness up all the way and turning it white for a second.
The countdown is an an aid to compose your pictures, I don't think stealth photos is quite what Photobooth is meant for.
If it creeps you out you turn the camera off in the settings. I keep mine off.
Also, if the camera goes live a little green light goes on. You can't miss it.
It's a Mac, its easy to use. Thats the point.
BTW to the trolls, so far the only thing I want to do on my Mac that I can't is play Portal. I just keep a Wintendo for that, games are about all Windows is any good for these days.
I get really, really, sick of the whole "fashion accessory" argument.
Tell me what has 160 gig in that small a form factor, and that battery life? I had the first Windows iPod before most people knew what they were, back Before I even went Mac.
People keep showing me other 160 players and most of them are like trying to put a Stephen King Novel in your pocket. I don't care who sees it, it simply has the features I want. Why is this so hard to understand?
I do, as do most of my friends. I expect a lot of people over 40 feel the same way. After 2-3 decades of music, your tastes are usually eclectic enough to want a jaded palate tickled on demand.
I want all my music, every scrap with me 24/7. All my comedy, and a good cross section of audio books.
If I was happy with a small storage card I'd have stuck with my AAA powered Nomad flash player. If Apple wants to lose my money all they have to do is STOP selling a big player. 160 gig is a bare minimum. I'll keep it alive forever before I go back to a sad little flash player. Seriously, those are for kids and Joggers.
Apple??
Oh yes, nothing more embarrassing than taking a company out of the toilet and putting it back on the track to success,
Look at the stock recently?
Even if you hate Ol Steve J. Comparing his string of successes to Monkeyboy is just axegrinding.
Not even if I HAD a cock!
Who knows where he's been? It would be like humping a barrel of rancid pork fat. Or like being guest necrophile at the Fester Addams funeral.
Brrrrrr. better you than me.

Its nice to call Apple and get a call center in the US, not in Bangalore India.
Microsoft users say this sort of thing about everyone else's kit constantly but somehow thats never trolling. Nice double standard.
Oh no? you are one of the ten people who bought a tablet PC? Wow, sucks to be you. Least Ubuntu updates fix things, not break them.
Already patched that, Nice try,

I want to play Portal like mad, but not if it involves a Mac full of Windows. I'll stick to my DS fist...........
Well, it was Bandai in co-operation with Apple. And it was non Steve's Apple. Think Steve would have EVER approved the "Pippin"?

Nice Straw man Argument, bad anonymous troll, no biscuit. You need to do a LOT bette than that.
