Discovery In The High School Webcom Case: Guess What

> which provides students from its two high schools free MacBooks

Can MacBooks have their webcams activated without the light turning on?

No, AFAIK the students were informed that it was a glitch. No webcam LED was circumvented.

You'd think they would have noticed...

If you programmatically snap a picture through the webcam, how long does the light stay on? Perhaps it's difficult to notice?

The IT administrator in question is female, evidently? Not was I was expecting for a number of reasons...

"The lawsuit said the administrator, who has been placed on paid leave, “invokes the Fifth Amendment to every question asked of her, including a question asked as to whether she had ever downloading (sic) pictures to her own computer, including pictures of students who were naked while in their home.”"

District claimed it only activated cameras in case of a stolen laptop. The picture in the article page that shows the kid sleeping kind of blows that claim.

I'm wondering why all the people who did this are apparently still employed by the district. The preponderance of evidence seems to be in.
