Track your stolen laptop

There’s a super sweet program out there called GadgetTrak. If someone grabs your computer thinking they go a free laptop they’re wrong as long as you have this program installed.

It can locate your laptop or phone using its GPS chip (if your mobile computer has one) and wi-fi positioning. It’s amazing and it locates your device to an exact area.

Chances are good you’ll get some useful information out of that (at the very least it will be super cool).

To cover all possible kinds of users, there are Windows, Mac OS X, iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and Android versions of GadgetTrak, so whatever device you use, you can install this security program on it.
