I always notice when the light goes on, because it's close to my screen, and effectively a form of movement in a place I don't usually see it. It's also quite bright on Apple computers. Is it different for other people?
Yes. Many people leave the laptop on, and wander off to pee. Or they're jerking off with their eyes closed. Or they are using a different computer at the same time in a data-center. Or all of the above at once.
How on earth can you say for certain you _always_ notice it? If it came on and you failed to notice it, well.. you wouldn't know would you. You'd still think you had a perfect record of always noticing it.
