    I'd recommend gaffer's tape instead. It comes off cleanly without leaving a residue, and is also made to block light and not be noticed. Standard gaffer's tape is even charcoal-bordering-on-black, just like the Vaio bezel. :)

    Sounds like a good information to know for spying.

    lol I dunno... you can cover the camera LED but ignoring the monitor below it or the other LED's on the body is a whole different deal :)
