Find my Mac is open for developers

August 4th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

With all the fun and speculation going on about the iPhone release date I thought it would be nice to talk about some software for the Apple company to keep our minds off of the date the iPhone will be released. So I read some information about a new product that is just starting being tested by developers and no it’s not iCloud, although that is also available for developers. The find my Mac software is suppose to help you if anything ever happens to your Mac.
Find My Mac is very similar to Find My iPhone, only because the Mac has no GPS functionality, it seems likely the feature relies solely on nearby Wi-Fi networks to determine the computer’s location. Once it finds the lost Mac, users can send a message, remotely lock the screen, or even wipe out the entire drive. Find My Mac may launch this fall with the general release of iCloud. That is a pretty solid piece of software and I would like to know more about how it works, hopefully in the coming weeks there will be more information on it.
