In this discussion, we will look at experimental source code for programmatically performing the following operations on a MacBook Pro.

* Retrieving and setting the LED brightness value of the backlit keyboard
* Initiating an LED fade to a target brightness value over a specified duration
* Retrieving and setting a display's brightness

This guy is cool, but he doesn't allow any redistribution of his code without permission.
