Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

As documented in the Android N behavioral changes, to protect Android users and apps from unforeseen crashes, Android N will restrict which libraries your C/C++ code can link against at runtime. "It's like that, and that's the way it is "

A recently published survey by the Evans Data Corporation shed light on a growing trend in the world of technology development. It showed the high-profile shift in focus of data-driven corporations towards artificial intelligence, robotics, and the Internet of Things. "There are two kinds of statistics, the kind you look up and the kind you make up."

Does covering his laptop camera and microphone with tape make Facebook’s boss paranoid, or are they really after him? Probably a bit of both If Mark Zuckerberg jumped off a bridge would you (cheer)?

To answer the original question; no, it means he knows how technology works.
Now, imagine being MZ - you know that it is technically possible, so it is merely an ethical question, which in his case would be "what would FB do if it had this technical option". In that case the only rational reaction is not only to tape over the led, but to friggin' burn it, fill the hole with Tipp-Ex and then tape over the hole.

He should put tape over his keyboard and touchpad as well... just to be sure, you know.

The reason Mark 'Almighty' Zuckerberg do this, is that he knows how Facebook lacks any hint of ethics...

I think this "news" would be more interesting if he taped all cams and mics whenever he entered a room.

So, he can't afford to buy a laptop that doesn't have a camera and microphone?

Perhaps it would be even better if he taped his mouth.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

New Scientist on-line: [^]
"When a doctor declares a person dead, some of their body may still be alive and kicking – at least for a day or two. New evidence in animals suggests that many genes go on working for up to 48 hours after the lights have gone out.
This hustle and bustle has been seen in mice and zebrafish, but there are hints that genes are also active for some time in deceased humans. This discovery could have implications for the safety of organ transplants as well as help pathologists pinpoint a time of death more precisely, perhaps to within minutes of the event." If your mouse, or zebrafish, has just died, please refrain from playing heavy-metal, rap, punk, hip-hop, etc., music for 48 hours in respect.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
