I have a notebook and am nervous when I leave the house in case I lose it/it gets nicked and then someone has access to all my personal files, photos, etc.

I'd love it if, when opening the computer from sleep or starting it up, it would first look for wi-fi. If it finds my home wifi then it carries on as normal, if it doesn't it asks for a password.

Same would work for the iPhone. If it's in range of my wifi (or even in an area defined by GPS), then don't ask for my PIN.

That'd be such an amazing feature for me. Or am I missing some obvious stumbling block??
