Hi there<br>
<br>
Just came across the following post on slashdot about a stolen laptop<br>
and how it was rescued:<br>
 �<a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/05/14/1550217/OReilly-Authors-Laptop-Rescued-By-Twitter-Posse-and-Prey" target="_blank">http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/05/14/1550217/OReilly-Authors-Laptop-Rescued-By-Twitter-Posse-and-Prey</a><br>


<br>
The article mentions the &quot;Prey&quot; project, an open-source anti-theft<br>
software (licensed under GPL3; runs on Linux/Mac/Windows/Android):<br>
 �<a href="http://preyproject.com/" target="_blank">http://preyproject.com/</a><br>
<br>
Has anybody used Prey before or any other &quot;laptop-tracking&quot; software?<br>
<br>
Cheers, Peter<br>
