Get Your Mac Bac
According to a NY Times article, a New York woman helped police arrest a person responsible for stealing her Macintosh laptop. She used the built in feature called "Back to My Mac," which allows the user to gain access to their laptop remotely.
Once on-line remotely, the woman was able to activate the built in camera on her stolen laptop, and watch the thief live. She then snapped a picture of the thief, described him to one of her roommates, who instantly knew who it was by the description of his tattoo.
Hours later, the Mac was Bac and Jac was in Jail.
Only on a Mac.
I thought I put this in the Technology section. Sorry!
