However, my whole system is heavily encrypted. That means if it gets missing/stolen, no one will be able to boot it. This in turn means services like Adeona, etc, are irrelevant to me, because they will not run. Boot-time related encryption technologies like TrueCrypt, BitLocker etc render trackers irrelevant/unusable. Hi Techcrunch, this attempt is commendable. However, my whole system is heavily encrypted.

Has anyone tried it yet? I'm going to test it out. If used lojack before but find it pretty expensive, also using Returnmoi security labels, it worked for my blackberry so got one for my laptop (http://www.returnmoi.com) there are others that are similar also.

Thanks for the link. I will install it on my laptop. But probably it would not work if it never gets online/gets a hard disk format. Good one. Thanks for the link. I will install it on my laptop.
