A gently-glowing logo is far less disruptive or distracting than a flashlight shining in one's face.

If you expect people to cover the logo on their laptops, I can only assume you keep your phone on silent and never, ever, ever answer it in public, because a ringing phone is far more distracting as is a phone conversation. For that matter, so is in-person conversation, so I hope you never hold conversations in public either.

Or put another way, calling a glowing logo a public disservice is ridiculous and if you believe it you're either a recluse or a hypocrite.

You weren't replying to me, but I genuinely do keep my phone on silent (no, not vibrate) and will never answer it (both because it's rude and because I don't notice it).

But I do try to check it regularly whenever I get the chance.
