If I am not mistaken, adeona is down for the past year, according to Wikipedia. It is still under development as of May 2009. Does anyone know any updates?

It would be best if you could configure it to send it’s location via email.

make a spare gmail account just for laptop tracking… dont have to worry about the dht thing…
or is that what it does?

It’d be lovely to see more ’security’ apps made for notebook users right up to really obnoxious and off the wall ideas. Maybe use the bluetooth adapters built in to attempt to connect to any non-protected devices in the vicinity and try to get a message out, crank the volume and sound an alarm, maybe have a small dualbooted partition with a custom built OS made just for the event of the thing getting stolen and if it’s booted into the main OS and knows it’s stolen, modify the bootloader to lock into that second OS and reboot automatically.

Just some possibilities, obnoxious or not. ;)

The Adeona software has not worked for the past month due to issues with Open DHT servers. If you installed this on your system thinking it wil protect you, it is important to note that IT IS NOT. If you check the Adeona lists you will see that it has not been functioning for the past month, with no fix in site.

I just got this and I have to say I’m very excited. I am always so overprotective of my Laptop cause it took months to tweek it and Dammit Im not starting over. My only question is, when I play WOW do you think the silent updates might effect my performance?

My laptop is a Dell, but it’s got a built-in webcam (as do many, MANY windows lappies). Is there a free open source app for that?

Also, not a hack.
