You can do this via a software hack, but the iBook is not really 
designed to be run in this way; it doesn't have adequate ventallation 
while closed, and the exposure to excess heat could cause component 
failures, or at least shorten the life of the components. (And, of 
course, using it would void your warranty, so if anything goes wrong, 
you could be stuck.)
