Free Lojack for Your Laptop - Now with Extra Reasons for Reading

adeonalogo.jpgFreakonomics alerts the world of laptoppers to critical news:

If you’re reading this post on a laptop computer, rest easy. Your computer may have just become far less appealing to thieves.
The University of Washington has released a free program that will track your laptop if it’s stolen. If the program is installed on a computer with a built-in camera, it will even send you a photo of the thief at the keyboard.
It’s called Adeona, after the Roman goddess of safe returns, and it’s a lot like LoJack — the silent alarm and recovery system for cars — for laptops. - Freakonomics


In equally important news the Hollywood Animation Archive alerts the world to a new stash of Alberto Vargas pinups.
