Hidden Remote Webcam activation is it in Firmware, HD, or PRAM?
None of the above. In the case in the news this is a function of
Apple's enterprise level Remote Desktop management software.
There are other programs that can do this;
If you get a desk top and initialize its HD is their any very small
place to hide a webcam activation control that escapes the
initialization, such as in the area reserved for the directory or
serial number or usage register?
No.
How about reports that it is hidden in Firmware?
Either BS or hysteria.
Or, possibly in PRAM?
or, if your using Airport, in the id register?
No, No. Again there's a ton of hysteria about this but it's a simple
process:

And no matter how fiendishly the software is hidden, it's a poor
espionage tool that can be defeated by a 0.000001 cent bit of masking
