Prey is an open source (freemium) tool for computing device tracking and theft recovery. Downloads available for Windows, Mac, Ubuntu and other Linux, as well as Android (in the Android store).
Prey and Hidden – Stories with a Happy Ending
Lifehacker has a few articles on Prey, especially a nice story on how Prey helped one user recover their laptop. This is a similar story dealing with Hidden App, a similar app for Mac only, and on a subscription basis ($15 USD/year and up).
It will be nice to see iphone/ipad apps for this, which I am sure are coming.
