Built in iSight

I guess I don’t see a real great place for it right now on the Powerbook so it would probably take some re-design. But that would be a great feature. I hate carrying around the iSight and having to set it up each time I want to use it. (I’m very mobile with my Powerbook.)

All they’re doing is protecting the idea so someone else doesn’t steal. Does copyright law have a limit from the time a patent is awarded to the time the product is marketed? I doubt it. Call me cynical…
