"This Guy Has my Macbook"

Running through the Yahoo headlines this morning came across a tech related article that deserved sharing. Joshua Koffman from San Fransisco had his Macbook stolen from his apartment. Luckily for Joshua he had installed a program called Hidden. Once started the program took pictures of whom ever was in front of the camera and also linked the pictures to their location.

Joshua took this evidence to the police and was refused assistance. He then took the matter into his own hands by making it viral on the internet via social media, and a blog setup for the cause. The story caught media attention, which then finally got the police interested..  The man has since been arrested and the laptop returned. Starting at just $15 bucks, Hidden is a great tool for Mac users. One note, this software only works for Mac's... I will do some research to see if there is something similar for those of us with either Windows or Linux, but that's another post.. If you are interested in Hidden you can check it out at http://hiddenapp.com/.
