Just wondering if anyone else's latch light stays off when the computer is on and in use.

During sleep mode it pulses normally, but for some reason I remember the light always being on.

nope..light stays off when the computer is in use unless its in clamshell mode, in which case the light will be on untill you unlatch it.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)

Apple is the only company that has the indicator light right.

When the computer is awake, the light it off because if it is on, what do you need a light for? When the display turns off, the light comes on to remind you the computer is on. When it sleeps, it pulses instead of flashing.

iMacs do the same thing.
