Laptop Lojack

Finally, you can quit worrying about all of that incriminating information you’ve been carrying around on your laptop being stolen and used against you. Lojack for Laptops, designed by Absolute Software, reacts to your stolen laptop’s connection to the internet. Once a connection is made, an embedded agent sends a wireless signal from your laptop to an Absolute monitoring center, indicating the IP address or phone number of the culprit. From there, a geographical location is ascertained, local law enforcement is notified and you’re on your way to retrieving the stolen goods. | Via Om Malik’s Broadband Blog |
