The theft of laptops is a large problem in the world today and while a password along with an encrypted drive on a laptop can protect data, what is really needed is a way of tracking your laptop when stolen and ultimately reacquiring it and sending the thief to prison.Lenovo already has its Lockdown PC Now protection system which allows the disabling of a stolen laptop via SMS, but it still doesn’t locate the laptop.Ericsson in conjunction with Intel has announced their intent to make Ericsson’s HSPA-capable Mobile Broadband Modules compatible with Intel’s Anti-Theft Technology, a move that adds GPS to track a stolen laptop’s location, and is expected to begin shipping in the 1st half of 09.
