"Back To My Mac" Catches a Thief
robipilot writes "Mac stolen, Mac comes online, owner connects using 'Back to My Mac,' owner takes picture of culprit, and voila, criminal caught. OK, it wasn't quite that simple, but here's an interesting story of using some built-in technology on the Mac to recover a stolen laptop."
Since when have facts, logic, and rationality been part of a good anti-Microsoft argument?
Pretty much always.
Microsoft is an uncontrolled predatory monopoly which is gouging computer users and has been for decades. They have used aggressive illegal tactics to stifle dozens of competitors who would have otherwise had the opportunity to offer better products.
Recently they corrupted one of the most valuable cooperative ventures humanity has known in order to maintain their Office document lockin. The cost of that alone, let alone the lost opportunity cost of genuinely open document formats is incalculable.
Given that they have shown no inclination to change their ways, and the US government has shown no inclination to prosecute them, the most sensible thing for any computer user to do is ensure their failings and crimes are as publicly visible as possible.
