Back to my Mac
My brand new MacBook Pro was stolen several weeks back. The thief was caught on camera but we have yet to nab him.
My brother sent me an interesting article: Stolen Laptop Helps Turn Tables on Suspects.
One of the laptops was a Macintosh belonging to Kait Duplaga, who works at the Apple store in the Westchester mall and thus knows how to use all its bells and whistles. While the police were coming up dry, Ms. Duplaga exploited the latest software applications installed on her laptop to track down the culprits and even get their photographs.
The Back to My Mac feature, which runs on Leopard-based Macintoshes, requires a $99 subscription to the .Mac online service.
I’ve asked my employer to pay for this service for my new MacBook. To which they’ve replied, “Take your damn laptop with you every night. Kbye.”
