Ever misplaced your hard earned
MacBook Air or had an entire project vanish at the hands of a dirty thief, only to be gone forever? Well friends, the time is coming soon for the Find My Mac feature to provide a highly sought after sigh of relief,
Find My iPhone-style. Apple has released the software into the wild for registered iOS devs, with the only other requirements being
OS X Lion and an
iCloud subscription. Using WiFi networks to locate your missing appendage via a web browser or iOS device, the location tool offers you a number of anti-theft options -- send a threatening message, lock down the machine remotely, or even wipe the machine's drive clean. Perhaps we will see this security detail launch with
iCloud in fall, which was also released in beta form earlier this week.
Apple offers Find My Mac for beta testing, wants to play Cops and Robbers originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 03 Aug 2011 23:03:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
