This is good, I just emailed the link to my client who has a bunch of new Macs.
I saw that! LoJack (TM) for computers.:D :busted:
Wow!!!!! What a great feature!!!! :p
Ha! That's great. We have can access ours remotely, but I don't think I would have thought to do it in that situation. Justin uses it to access work files off his desktop when he's on his laptop. We keep all our pictures on Justin's desktop so I use it on my laptop to access iPhoto on his desktop.
I think it is so cool that they caught the thief like that! Just imagine how surpried he was when they showed up at his door! :eek:
WOW!!! Goes to show you that crime doesn't pay!!!!!!!
What a great feature. Wonder if pcs will ever have that? I'm going to
send this to a few people.
A $99 subscription though... is that yearly?
That's so awesome, though... LOL I love dumb burglars :D
There are programs you can get for Windows that does the same thing, yes. It's called Remote Desktop or something similar that allows you to access your desktop from any computer, so long as both machines have the program installed and running.Quote:
