Good news, everyone!
It's nice to read positive news, even if they are a bit like advertising. Therefore, I treat them with some irony.
Today,
Engadget , a respected resource from me, published the news under the heading
Stolen Laptop was returned using Back to My Mac .
This news tells the story of an Apple store worker who had a party in her apartment. And everything would be fine if, after a few weeks, her apartment was not robbed for a total amount of more than $ 5,000. What is most outrageous, the robbers hankering at the holy of holies of the girl - her new Mac. Later, the observant friend of the robbed girl noticed her computer on the network and immediately informed the rightful hostess. Who would know what continuation this story would have if Leopard with
Back to My Mac feature were installed on the girl’s computer, allowing access to a Mac from any other Mac via the Internet. The girl took advantage of this feature and activated the application
Photo Booth . And, you know, it turned out that the robbers were among those invited to the very party. Mac-property robbers (23-year-old Edmon Shahikian and 20-year-old Ian Frias) were charged with a second-degree apartment burglary and fourth-degree stolen property. Way to go, our advanced mac-educated girl! Evil must be punished!

An even more detailed description of the situation can be found
on the New York Times website.In general, the news, I repeat, is very similar to some kind of advertising, especially as the Back to My Mac service costs, if I'm not mistaken, $ 99 a year. But the case is quite probable. And pretty positive :)
