I waggle it as I walk by my open laptop. Somewhere there are NSA agents crying.

I don't keep my web cam and mic plugged in when I'm not using them.

I send my own surveillance videos to the NSA. They leave me alone, though. Frankly, who's going to watch 6000 hours of some guy flipping off the camera?

There was a vid of face book founder zuckpuvker giving a presentation. His laptop had tape or a sticky note over the camera.
Personally, I think everyone should alternate 10 rorschach inkblots over their camera lense. We need to find out just how crazy the watchers are.

I don't think tape over a microphone is going to do squat.
If taping over your computer's camera is so important, why doesn't anyone tape over their cellphone's cameras?

I lick the lens and breathe heavily into the microphone...

My laptop is new enough to have one, but it's usually turned off and closed and not connected to the Internet. My desktop computer does not have a camera. (I don't know if it has a microphone--if it does, it's mostly going to hear either Fox News or reruns of the various NCIS venues.)

The NSA probably calls my laptop camera the "Punishment Detail". Hours of boredom interspersed with brief moments of tedium.
