Does Anybody Know

Does anybody know how to keep your iBook "awake" while closed? This would be a necessity if I'm to capture Mister Slave, my CIS teaching assistant on video. I could leave my laptop in my backpack with the cam in the backpack's headphone access hole.

Oh, yeah, changes are afoot on gigamatic as well. Another redesign. I can tell how excited you are. Yes indeedy.

Meanwhile, I need to finish the changes to a site at work before Senor AskMe50TimesInOneDayWhenMySiteWillBeDone comes around again. Back in an hour or so.

Can't do it - at least if you value your machine. Heat is dissipated through the keyboard...

That's what I was afraid of. It would be nice, just for a few minutes tho.

PowerBooks can definitely do it. Apple's official comment about iBooks is along the lines of "don't do it." ;) Obviously, a few minutes won't kill it.

Some claim closed lid operation was added to 10.2 (haven't seen it myself.)
