Note that the inversion of the logo was more or less at the same time 
as the logo backlighting.  Which makes sense, if you are going to 
light it, it should be "right side up" when lit.

Rumor has it that some TV show or movie rigged a Mac to illuminate 
the backlight and when someone at Apple saw it they decided it would 
be a good idea to do it for all of them.

Glowing is not enough,
Spinning and perhaps blinking, 
Now these are important considerations.

Chain driven so as to always be right side up. 
Spinning at optimal RPM. And blinking. Now that will draw much more attention 
than simply being upside down.

It is oh, SO important !
