I am very sad today.
I just read about a new retrieval system for portable computers. It includes a piece of software that is very hard to delete. This software broadcasts the computer’s IP address to the company if the machine is stolen. It can then be traced and found. Future plans for this system, LoJack for Laptops, include integration into the hardware, which is impossible to change without ruining the entire computer.
I’m sad because I thought of this system two years ago. I just didn’t know how to go about making it real.
I now resolve to make my inventions come to life from now on. Not just in 2006, but for the rest of my time spent thinking. I’m actually working another design out now for something totally unrelated. Wish me luck.
