I got one, rarely use it.

There's a light to the left of it that is suppose to turn on when the camera is on.

This light turns on every time that I fullscreen anything flash...(ie: maximizing a youtube video will cause my camera light to blink)

It also blinks at seemingly random times...this thing is starting to make me paranoid. :party-smiley-004:

Just formatted, I'm fairly certain it isn't a trojan. My comp is Dell 1640, anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the duplicate suggestion... I don't want tape on my laptop, but thanks.

No idea what you're talking about Unripe, though I will be PMing you shortly asking for mega cash or else I release the multiple videos I now have of you beating it to the boobs threads.

I've got a Gateway and have never had that happen.
 
Webcams still freak me out. I know it's all the rave now a days with the video chat and conferencing and what not but it's still just...creepy to me.
 
When I got caught... I just dullspaced - Now the circa doesnt even bother me.

Mines built in... so I guess I have a hardware that does all that.
 
On my one Dell laptops, it rotates, so I always point it up, but yeah, I am paranoid.

Most people don't know that your cell phone can be turned on remotely and listened to. The only way to stop that is to remove the battery. So if you're doing anything embarrassing, private or illegal, you definitely do not want your cell phone around. That means buying drugs, making threats, propositioning hookers, making radical political statements, discussing where you buried the loot, locker combinations and so on.

durrrrrr, can they still listen to it if I turn it off completely? (but with the battery still inside)

I know they can trianglate your physical position thru cellphone tower signals.
