This is a GREAT story of one man’s geekly triumph over the forces of darkness. Someone stole his sister’s iMac and he got it back, employing software that he knew was on it as well as the caller ID system to find the perpetrator.
It helps to know that Timbuktu is computer-to-computer remote control software. […]
At long last, after 4 months, the temptation to smoke is fingering my belt buckle. Temptation is a complex, insidious emotion. If it isn’t convincing enough to give in to, it isn’t temptation.
