    the AW head (not the one that's on the outside....the one that's visible when u open the screen - the one next to the wifi etc buttons) keeps changing colour for some reason - I have it set to aqua..... and today it started flashing green :S any ideas?

    Could it be due to the charging of the battery?
    AlienHead (outside) and Power Button change colors (fade from one color to another) while charging.

    can you unplug the power source and see if it change to the color you selected on DC power ?

    The eyes blink when the hard drive is being accessed. You probably never noticed before since it is in a area not normally looked at.

    Isn't that the one talked about in the OP?
    I would also suggest like N1kkon, look at the Command Center options.
