Apple developed for the iPhone and iPad are two programs, the benefits of which can be obtained only when favorite gadget is lost or stolen. This, as you probably guessed, is about applications Find my iPhone and Find my iPad. These programs are able to transmit the coordinates of the location of your device and allow you to remotely wipe all personal data.
Unfortunately, Apple has not yet offered a similar product for Mac OS X. And the need for it is.
A few months ago, one of the California poppy, the user stolen MacBook. The police did not want to deal with the case, citing a lack of resources. Fortunately the owner shortly before the incident set to his poppy program Hidden. This "white" Trojan horse. In case of theft of a laptop program is activated and sends valuable data (for example, where is the gadget (for this It uses data obtained from WiFi-points) and can send screenshots and photographs taken with a built- iSight webcam.
The present owner of the stolen Mac, without receiving support from the police, started a blog with the eloquent title
"This man is my Mac", Where he regularly publish photos of the thief.Yesterday, the story will be continued: the police still found and arrested the robber. Apparently, the role played by the fact that the application Hidden It is sold once and for all, as is the case with conventional software. Instead, the developer offers a low-cost subscription. For $ 15 a year, the user is not only the right to use the application, but also support from the developer: he is also associated with the police and helps keep track of the criminal.
Confidence in such a delicate issue to third-party developers to me a little bit. Therefore, I hope that one of the features will be the Lion Find my Mac.
