that sounds like a really good program and i am definitly going to get that for my macbook seomtime in july for my birthday.
They have a couple of countermeasures against that. It requires an Administrator password to be uninstalled and if you set a firmware password, it's harder to reinstall the OS, too. I do suspect it's possible to get past the firmware password somehow, but I don't know how.LastLine said:
What I wonder, and I've look at their "FAQ" and "How it Works" is if the green light on the iSight camera comes on when it takes pictures with the camera. If it doesn't, I'm not sure I like it, because that means other apps also can take pics without turning on the camera light.
That's crazy, but i doubt anyone is going to walk out my house with my iMac...This app is for all you portable people..

Where did it say it takes a picture? I may have missed it, but I never saw anything referring to the iSight.
Im actually trying to build a open source version of this but with extra features that are not exactly specific to MacOSX but as soon as i can launch the service im sure people will help me add in the extras that people wish.
Actually Orbicule is a reverse of me as i developed MultiAlarm they had the undercover as i was developing my undercover they developed theftsensor.
Funny thing is both of us never knew of each other before we started out developments

My friend just had her iBook stolen from her house a block away from me. This scared me enough to buy it for my iMac. Sure, it's a desktop, but it's pretty compact and easy to grab for a theif, plus I live on a college campus that has had a few large scale thefts in the past. $25 for peace of mind is worth it to me.
From what I understand, It runs completely in the background. I am not too worried about the firmware password, as they couldn't install OSX w/o the intel build... which is safely tucked away in my room.lexus said:

Why does it take a picture every 6 minutes..?
Is it too easy to pick up on every 5?
So there would be no reason for the thief to suspect it. I am purchasing it and setting my computer to ask for login when it goes to sleep. I am going to create a blank account that is not password protected that the thief would log into. VioláJonD25 said:
