Today's Thief-Catching URL

If you've ever had an iPhone (or other phone) stolen, you'll appreciate this blog post detailing how an iPhone owner tracked down his phone after the theft. I found it riveting, and I think I shall get MobileMe to ensure that should such a thing happen to my iPhone, it will be traced.

That was a great story. And it shows up how privacy is down the drain.

but if someone restore the phone to its original setting using itunes, you wont be able to trace it anymore

Well, indeed. Real privacy comes at a cost. Look at J.D. Salinger. He wanted privacy, and what he got was hermithood. The lasting image most will have of him is that picture of him looking quite angry striking out at the photographer.

I'm not conversant with how it all works. But I suppose the thief has to be someone who knows what to do, and most thieves, especially people who pick pockets, aren't very bright.
