I am about to embark on getting my new toy calibrated when I noticed what I thought was a very little reflection on my screen while it was sleeping.. It turns out to be not a reflection at all, but the cut-away for the apple logo on the outside of the screen. If light is directly behind the screen you can see the light thru the screen coming from the apple logo.
It caught me by surprise that it would not be covered somehow and we would not be able to see light coming thru...
So for anyone calibrating apple laptops, make sure to not put the calibration devise right in the middle of the screen because I think it caould cause a bogus profile state.. Any opinions about this would be helpful to the whole list if its something we should lookout for..
I've noticed that bright lights behind a PowerBook show though the apple as well... but one should not be calibrating a monitor with a light source behind it, or even using it that way, except for non-color managed applications, like checking your email in Starbucks... so it really shouldn't be a problem. If you are concerned, flatten the screen down as far as it will go; which allows the sensor to sit more tightly on the screen anyhow. And be sure to set your screensaver and energysaver to "never", having the screen dim during calibration will have a lot more effect that logo leakage.
