I'm freaking out here. I used my Macbook Pro in the dark and the keys...


WERE GLOWING.

Does this mean that it has radiation or nuclear waste inside it? Is this covered by Applecare?
 
HOLY CRAP, MAN!

Your MBP must've been used as a vector for smuggling weapons-grade Plutonium! Get out of there NOW! :eek:
 
Nope, the MacBook Pro has a backlit keyboard which comes on in low-light conditions. It's quite normal behaviour, I can assure you. ;)

You can turn it off if you like, in System Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse/Keyboard – there's a tickbox in there.
 
Dude radiation doesn't glow, it just kills you. As with the glow, well, not sure. Maybe Apple will give you a replacement computer.
