Apple Computer is, once again, trying to light up their customer's lives. Literally.

From ZDNET:Apple's Patent App. Drawing of Light Up Computer

A patent application [non-pdf, PDF here], listing Apple as the assignee and Duncan Kerr and Steve Hotelling as the inventors, was published on the USPTO site late last week. The abstract described a computer with an illuminable housing and a light device--red, green, blue and white light emitting diodes "disposed" inside the housing.

The filing describes a "chameleonic" electronic device which can "alter its visual appearance."

Figure 12 from the application shows an iMac style computer that appears to glow.
