Story time .... a while ago I had a similar discussion with someone because I said I have a thick black tape on my Macbook's webcam and I rest easy knowing I cannot be spied on using that camera unless the laws of physics change. Of course many people made fun of it and mentioned "blah blah you are paranoid the LED cannot be manipulated and will always turn on ...". Well ... here you go. Where are you now? I wouldn't be surprised if someone-cough-you-know-who-cough had influenced the design for this to become a possibility. We know they are actively looking for opportunities like this. Go ahead, call me a paranoid again ... and next month when the story about how they did just that hits hacker news, I'll have an even better story to tell.
