@CorporalMaxSterling: Yea. I installed Prey on my phone and laptop.

@KamWrex: Tasker can do that too ;)

All your smart shopping articles are really just pandering to what you think your demographics is all about; smart, cynical, smartphone-tottng, tech geeks. We're all about as smart or smarter than you Adam. Go aggregate something I don't know yet. You're boring me.
