There is also a product named 'Cobra Cam'. It's a USB-base light doubled by
a little camera and also sells for $20. Someone on the G-Books list is
supposed to investigate if the camera could be put to work on OS X.
Apparently it can, but there hasn't been any hard evidence yet. You can have
a look at

cargo cult programming n.: A style of (incompetent) programming dominated by ritual inclusion of code or program structures that serve no real purpose. A cargo cult programmer will usually explain the extra code as a way of working around some bug encountered in the past, but usually neither the bug nor the reason the code apparently avoided the bug was ever fully understood (compare shotgun debugging, voodoo programming).
