There are usually two microphones in laptop, plug in one disables the other. I should say two down, more to go.

I can't find a source but I remember something on HN a while back about this not being the case with new MBPs. The input device is software-controlled now. If you care to search for it, it had to do with laptop security guidelines for employees of some government agency.
