I have two things I am thinking for a time now: 1. (paranoid mode on) As I know there are LEDs indicating the camera/microphone activity. Have you thought about that if a rogue program uses the camera for 1/10 second in every second then the LED will blink fast enough that the user will see it as it glows faint? So the user effectively will not see it. As I know it is driven by the hardware but is there a circuit which keeps the LED on for enough time (1 sec maybe) that it cannot blink too fast? The same applies to the mic LED but probably sampling 1/10 of the sound is worthless. (paranoid mode off)
2. I have seen the video where two 10 years olds are replacing the motherboard. I have noticed that they are using several screwdrivers for the work. Is it because the XO contains several different screws? Probably I am a little bit exaggerating the Nigerian reality but can it be that they will not have all the tools for the work? Would it be too much of a change to standardize parts that only one screwdriver will be enough? Or am I just ignorant? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
