I don't get this. If someone gets unauthorized access to your computer's camera, all this prevents is them seeing your face staring into your computer. This doesn't solve the underlying problem of someone getting unauthorized access to your computer. It just solves the problem of someone seeing your face, which is not such a terrible problem to have, at least if you're as handsome as I am.<p>Just covering up the camera is like putting a bandaid on a small cut when you have internal bleeding.
The page is now down, here's a reupload of the image Zuckerberg posted:<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/3oNniEh.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/3oNniEh.jpg</a><p>Zoomed in with the covers outlined:<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/laM8qEJ.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/laM8qEJ.png</a>
I don't know why I would care about Zuckerberg in particular doing this, but while we're on the topic, can anyone recommend a decent retractable camera cover for mounting on a laptop?
What benefit would it be using tape over the jack hole? The built in mic I could understand. But, surely it wouldn't work unless something was plugged in? Or is it a reminder to himself and yo prevent him from pluging in headphones with inline microphone? Genuinely curious.
