Here is an interesting piece that appeared in Network World:
Orbicule has announced the release of Undercover 2, a major upgrade to its theft recovery software for Mac OS X. The software is now Leopard-compatible, among other improvements. A single user license costs $49, and it’s a free upgrade for Version 1.0 users.
With Undercover installed, you can attempt to find out where your Mac is located if it’s stolen — the software will regularly ping servers to identify itself and its location. Undercover will also take screenshots and can activate newer Macs’ built-in iSight Webcams to help identify the thief.
Besides Leopard support, other changes in Version 2 include a “dead-Mac-timeout” feature that will automatically lock the host Mac if it’s disconnected from the Internet for more than two months.
