I strongly suspect that the LED is hardwired to the camera. That would be easy to do and makes sense from a design perspective. I'd be happier, however, if Apple provided some confirmation of this, rather than leaving us all to hope that is the case.
There's no need for Apple to provide confirmation of this - even if they did, would their just saying so convince anyone?
Open it up and check. Yes, powering the camera also powers the LED. It's that simple. It took an hour.
No, and if you had actually *tried* typing that into google - or even clicking your OWN LINK, instead of spouting your mouth off ignorantly, you'd have seen that I was right. It gives you dollars squared.
I was invited to the GMail For Domains beta, but was unable to participate because, just like with the main GMail service, there's no way to get your existing mail INTO it other than just forwarding all your messages one at a time to gmail... and doing that means you lose all your date information.
maybe there's some way you could come up with a shell script that would parse Flickr's URLs and download the full-resolution photos
"Maybe"?
Flickr is one of the most open and programmable sites out there. Check out http://www.flickr.com/services/api/ -- absolutely everything you can do at Flickr, you can do programatically.
There are thousands of third party utilities that operate over Flickr photos, including many that will download all your photos along with all the metadata. There's even a perl module for it, Net::Flickr::Backup.
I back up to Jungle Disk, a free slick front-end for Amazon S3 that lets you use it as a disk drive. It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and there's GPL'd code that lets other people develop alternative compatible front-ends.
Cost: $0.15 / gigabyte, and my data is replicated in several datacenters on more than one continent.
Once in a while maybe you will feel the urge To break international copyright law By downloading mp3s from file-sharing sites Like Morpheus or Grokster or Limewire or KaZaA But deep in your heart you know the guilt would drive you mad And the shame would leave a permanent scar 'Cause you start out stealing songs, and then you're robbing liquor stores And selling crack and running over school kids with your car

Suppose there are six large corporations competing in the same market. Would you consider each of them monopolists, because they're all large corporations?
Look at the source to the page. Your password is never sent over the network, even if you use it as hashapass.com. There is no form being submitted. Everything is done in javascript in your own computer.
Next time try actually reading a little before you snark.
Nobody should be using the same password on ANY two sites. You have no control over what the remote side is doing with your password.
Use something like http://www.hashapass.com/ to generate your passwords instead, and you only have to remember one thing, but your password is different on every site.
Who decides what "fence" is? If I string up a piece of fishing line, is that a "fence"? What about a two foot tall white picket fence? Does it have to be ten foot tall razorwire fence before it counts?
Why can't the "no trespassing signs" themselves count as a fence?
Nine out of ten of the worst mistakes of "all time" were made in the last hundred years? Somehow, I doubt this.
More likely, nobody wanted to bother and actually do any research beyond "interesting mistakes I can remember from what I was taught in Engineering 101".
I was invited to participate in the GMail For Domains beta, but had to decline. I host email for about 60 friends & friends-of-friends and so on, and we'd all love to use GMail, but there's no way to transfer existing mail into a GMail account, whether a hosted-domain one or not.
Until they provide a way to upload your existing messages (without losing date information, which happens if you just mail your messages to them, like various import utilities do), I can't see this being very popular among people who actually have any mail worth keeping.

Ah, but a new puzzle is laid bare ... which came first, the chicken or the coward?
Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself!

She would instead type this:
$.002 cents per KB times 35893 KB
which leads to a nonsensical result (as well it should). That's the whole problem here - people like her who think that "$.002 cents" means something.

Not only that, but the confirmation link they email you doesn't work - it just sends you back to the home page.
When I submitted, it gave me someone ELSE'S email address as confirmation, and then emailed me THEIR confirmation, too.
Not good.

They left out Jungle Disk.
The data is stored on Amazon S3 for $0.15 / GB, and you pay directly to Amazon, not to the creator of Jungle Disk.
The program itself is free (as in beer) and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux
There's GPL code that lets other people develop alternative compatible front-ends (i.e., the storage format is free-as-in-speech - no vendor lockin!)
The program makes use of heavy caching so that writing to the remote store feels as fast as to a local disk - operations are queued.
Who decides what "fence" is? If I string up a piece of fishing line, is that a "fence"? What about a two foot tall white picket fence? Does it have to be ten foot tall razorwire fence before it counts?
Why can't the "no trespassing signs" themselves count as a fence?
That'll be fifty cents please, I saw that "not found" page you ended up on...
In other news, I've trademarked "404" (my slashdot user id number).
From now on, all use of "404" on the internet is subject to licensing fee.
