Modder adds IRC/Twitter/email LED’s to Eee PC

Its a shame that there are so many lights on laptops but most of them never go to use. One modder, who shared this philosophy, added a multicolor LED to an Asus Eee 901 to track incoming messages from IRC, Twitter and email.

Combined with an extra microprocessor and some custom scripts, the RGB LED illuminates with a different color depending on whether it's email, an IM or a new tweet awaiting one's perusal. With all of the useless software that are bundled with laptops these days, you’d think that Dell or HP would do something similar.
