I don't really understand the webcam paranoia. If my computer is completely compromised, somebody watching my face is the least of my worries.

It seems like a losing battle though. Small embedded cameras are becoming too widespread and you can't put tape on all of them. I think looking forward it's not unreasonable to rely on software controlled switches to minimize this risk, knowing that they will fail or be exploited sometimes anyway.
