What's the biggest 'dick' move someone can pull at a house party? Going into someone's bedroom and stealing a pair of MacBooks from a couple students of course. What the fukk? Seriously man, not cool. He or she has a truck load of bad karma coming there way, and when the karma truck runs them over it will stop and go in reverse & back over them to make sure they get the message. Why don't these hardware manufacturers give users the ability of shutting down the hardware remotely if it is spotted online and it's a registered the product? I feel like this would be a real good selling point and maybe people would stop stealing laptops if they couldn't be used. Shame on you apple for sitting on billions of dollars in cash and not implementing something to protect your loyal customers.
On a musical note a really cool Dcup rework of 'Someone I used to know' that I'm digging this morning. Wishing I had Ducksauce's - Mandolay in 320 to put on repeat and let it play out for a couple hours. That's all i got for this grey wintery Saturday in 2012.

ReplyDeleteThe minute that drive gets wiped clean which is the first thing a thief would do if they have any common sense that idea goes to shit. You should be able to do something in the bios that doesn't allow the os to run. There are tones of applications you can run but they are only good provided the os doesn't get wiped clean. If apple or microsoft worked with hardware manufacturers to create a proper deterrent to thievery we would all be petter off.
ReplyDeleteJust an idea.

Apple added this feature with iCloud for Macs (Previously only for iPhones/iPads): http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my.html
ReplyDeleteAgain only relevant if the os doesn't get wiped clean.
