In light of stories about stories about secret monitoring over laptop webcams (such as this one or this one), I wonder about the reliability of the green LED next to the camera that indicates that it's in use.
Is there a known hard-wired link between the camera on a MacBook Pro and the indicator that is impossible to circumvent in software?
Would such a thing be possible given the hardware of the camera?

I just read another article about that on Ars Technica
Only downside of this article, it was only tested on "old" (late PPC, early Intel) macs.
