Find My Mac Helps Locate Your Lost MacBook

MacBooks–or any laptop for that matter–can easily get lost, either through thieves or absent-minded owners. When you think that lost MacBooks would be gone forever, Apple tells you not to lose hope.

The Find My Mac software has been released for registered iOS developers. It also requires a OS X Lion-powered computer and an iCloud subscription to download. The software uses WiFi networks to locate missing MacBooks, which can be displayed either through a web browser or iOS device. Once the MacBook is found, the tool offers the user several anti-theft options such as sending a threatening message, remotely locking the machine, or even wiping off the laptop's data.

The Find My Mac, an iCloud service, is expected to be available for consumers in fall. A beta version has also been released earlier this week.
