Apple are you listening?

"2. Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth for less-than-nice public locales like airports
3. Control Ethernet: Off completely, local IPs only, or every IP."

Mike - these 2 are already available_

Have been since each were implemented [ethernet since pre OS 9 days and Bluetooth when it first came out]

Both can be accessed in the System Preferences App and Bluetooth has an optional Menubar Item that can be activated and which controls Bluetooth functionality_ I use them both constantly_

I do agree with your 2nd suggestion about having the camera "rotatable"_ But basically what they need to do moreso is to go back to the original design of the iSight Camera that they used to sell [until recently for $65] and bring it back - period_

I think an independent - mobile camera is a way better solution than a fixed camera built into your laptop screen looking back at you_


Another low-tech solution is to pop open the laptop screen backing and physically disconnect it from the board it's connected to_ Still looks pretty and only looks pretty_

Or at the least Apple should givve consumers the option of purchasing a laptop with or without a camera - like they do with the option of a back-lit keyboard or not OR like they do with the option for a glossy screen or non-glossy screen_
