TUAW Review: MacTrak Theft Recovery Software {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 18th 2008 8:09PM @Izzy & @Paul. Not so. More than 80% of stolen electronic goods (including cell phones, surprisingly) end up being fenced elsewhere, like pawn shops, or on web sites like eBay and Craigslist.
The chances that this kind of precaution will work for you are greater than not, so I don't see how anyone can argue against playing it safe when it comes to protecting a valuable investment like a laptop.
Genius introduces G-Pen M712 / M609 pen tablets {Engadget}
Apr 25th 2008 9:26PM I wish there was more competition in the input tablet market today. As it is now, Wacom is the only true player and their products are way over priced because of it. I use the Intuos3 6 x 11 at work (which is incredible)... I want to get one for myself at home, but I can't swing it at $370 new. Maybe I'll try ebay or amazon or buy.com.

I was going to say the same thing... a pair of cufflinks would be *very* nice. I have a couple of old PBs that I may use just for this...
Debunk: Yes, Virginia, the iPhone libtiff exploit can also be used for mischief {Engadget}
Nov 18th 2007 11:54PM What has been overlooked here (and mentioned only in passing in the video) is that this exploit requires SSH in order to be of any use, and SSH has to be installed and configured on the iPhone BY THE USER.
This isn't meant to belittle the seriousness of this exploit (because it is -- or was -- a serious exploit), but even with a compromised iPhone an attacker cannot gain access if the owner hasn't first installed SSH, or some other application that will allow remote access. I have a feeling that your rank-and-file iPhone users won't be up late figuring out how to install SSH onto it.
