Anyone using this? It's free until January, I think I might install it.
I've come VERY close to having my MBP stolen. I had an SLR, a couple lenses and a flash stolen out of our vehicle in Montreal last summer. My friend lost his MBP, but they left mine which was hidden in a suitcase.
Imagine tracking a thief down. Would be pretty intense. Bring a bat? A gun? Best to call the police? Isn't tracking the person unlawful? I suppose a typical thief isn't going to call a civil rights lawyer after they get busted for having stolen property.

I got it and it displayed my location in test mode. Interesting how it also makes the owner of the computer traceable, looks like a no-brainer for CIA puppet companies to acquire :)
