QUOTE FROM MACNN!!! SOUNDS INTERESTING

"Apple submits patent for "chameleonic" enclosure ...
Apple submitted a patent application in February to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a computer enclosure that changes color depending on user settings or the system's current state or system actions. As noted first by TMO, the "Active enclosure for computing device" features embedded LEDs that can be used to change the color of the computer housing. Dubbed a "chameleonic electronic device," the patent notes that the casing and multicolor LEDs could be uniquely positioned or the intensities changed to vary coloration, create an outward design (spots/stripes), make a portion of the housing "glow" or simply light the outline of the casing itself."

It would be cool if your computer could pulse red when it needs your attention.
Or use the iSight to judge what colour your walls are and change to match them.

Glad Apple got the patent.
They are the only one`s with enough creative heads to make it work in a useful and cool way.
