Funny, that pulsing light drives me nuts. If I'm in a darkened room with my MBP, I have to cover it or turn it to face the other way.

What model (silver or black screen frame/keys)? I have older one (silver), and the thing is like a lighthouse in a dark bedroom. However, they supposedly fixed it in the newer models.
They did. It's visible, but toned down just enough that I can fall asleep without having to cover it.
Yeah, now it uses the ambient light sensor.
I dont think so. The ambient light sensor is next to the iSight camera. I'd wager the indicator light is most oft on when the lid is closed and the sensor unexposed to ambient light. It's just dimmer.
I agree, it is fixed. I have had both and I no longer have to cover the LED when I go to sleep.
