I read a short clip in Reader’s Digest about how to locate your laptop if it has been lost, misplaced, or stolen in the U.S. There are two choices: you can subscribe to Computrace Lojack for Laptops Premium software that will track your computer, report the location to police, and remotely delete personal info. The other is a free program from researchers at the University of Washington and the University of California, San Diego. This free program allows you to track your computer and even take a photo of the thief (if you have a Mac with a built in camera.) The program is called Adeona. It can be downloaded at adeona.cs.washington.edu. (Reader’s Digest April 2009)
This is great, especially for college kids who carry their laptops around with them all the time and live in apartments or in a dorm. I will be getting this info to my kids in college.
