Rockwell was right, somebody is watching you! And they want to steal your Mac.



Joshua Schnell | Tue, Oct 28, 2008

Every time I’m out working on my laptop in public, I get the sneaking feeling that someone is watching me. Now, it could be my ridiculously good looks, or it could be the sexy piece of machinery sitting on my desk. I’d like to think that it’s my good looks, but, it’s probably my Mac. Sadly, there will be a moment when you need to leave it unattended for a split second. Ordering your 5th Mocha at Starbucks, looking through your book bag for class notes, hitting up the water cooler in the office. It’s inevitable. The moment we step out of sight of our Mac, some douchebag is going to be pulling the grab and run with it.

Well, we need to lock that sucker like Fort Knox in times of economic uncertainty! Lockdown does an excellent job, and doesn’t need a 700 billion dollar bailout to keep your financials secure.

“You can customize its detection features by activating your computer’s motion-sensors, keyboard-sensors, external device sensors, MagSafe sensors, and more to ensure that not even the slightest tap goes unnoticed.” Once someone bumps it, closes the lid, or even sneezes on it, the laptop is gonna start screaming out for your loving embrace. Once you tweak the settings, and enable the lockdown, you better know how to unlock it. I just locked myself out of this post, and couldn’t turn the damn thing off. I had to reboot, and rewrite this

whole article!

At least we know it does its job. Now, can you say the same? Better start working on those nun-chuck skills again if you’re gonna fight off those thiefs!

    Uh, who the hell is Rockwell? Do you mean Orwell? You've made more typos and errors on this site than three weeks in a computer lab full of third graders.

    You're a bright one eh… maybe you should check google first. If I wanted to say Orwell… I would have said Orwell.

    Srsly (no, that's not a typo either). I'm shocked that anyone who would consider “Orwell” as a possible substitute for “Rockwell” was even able to post a comment.

    Your reference to a computer lab full of third graders could be, methinks, a possible clue to your a) current surroundings b) reading level or c) fantasy life. Either way, I don't think you're quite qualified to edit articles here.
