Many to most typical laptop stickers don't advertise companies. Also, if you stick one over the glowing apple, you disable some rather obnoxious advertising.

To be entirely honest, I miss the glow. I thought it was a cool little feature, even if it didn't do anything much other than look pretty.

It had the downside that if some bright light was coming from the other direction, the Apple logo would shine through your display.

Now consider someone who isn't a particular fan of Apple sitting opposite of you in a dark room. It is shouting "APPLE! APPLE! APPLE!"

I’m not a particular fan of Nike and I can’t avoid people with Nike t-shirts, so what?

The Nike logo is not shining into your eyeballs.

Except wasting electricity (probably not much, but a minute or so of battery life sounds more useful than a glowing apple)

I enjoyed finding a foil sticker at jwz's club that turned the glowing apple into a glowing double helix.

Jwz redirects links from HN, so you may want to cut and paste that link to avoid a NSFW image.
