This statement isn't even really true of the old iSight cameras; they were attackable, but only by overwriting the firmware on the camera itself.

Is disabling the LED on a modern Macbook trivial? I'm genuinely asking. If so, can you provide a link demonstrating how? The ability to override the LED on the old iSight cameras was interesting enough that the paper demonstrating it got published at USENIX.

I was not aware that apple was the only manufactures of computers.... or Webcams.

I personally have never and will never own a Apple product, so I can not say what is true or not True in the Apple Space, I speak to the 90% of other computers running Windows Operating Systems

Do we perhaps have different definitions of "most if not all"?

By Laptops I mean PC not MAC...

MAC's are better left to the history books

Ok, can you point me to a paper describing an LED bypass attack on a Dell produced within the last 2 years?
