Notebook computers are an easy target for thieves, however the technology can also be turned against criminals with the help of some clever, invisible software

It’s called “Hidden”…a discreet program that is literally hidden away within an iMac or Mac book.   If the computer is stolen, the owner can activate a tracking device that can then locate the computer anywhere on the planet, even sending back photos using the Mac’s built in camera.

The ‘Hidden’ App costs just 15 dollars.  PC users can get similar software at www.pcphonehome.com for around 30 dollars…plus there’s also a free application called Prey that can be used on most desktop, notebook and mobile devices.
