Prey is a lightweight application that will help you track and find your laptop if it ever gets stolen. It works in all operating systems and not only is it Open Source but also completely free.
Prey helps you locate your missing laptop by sending timed reports with a bunch of information of its whereabouts. This includes the general status of the computer, a list of running programs and active connections, fully-detailed network and wifi information, a screenshot of the running desktop and — in case your laptop has an integrated webcam — a picture of the thief.
Prey uses a remote activation system which means the program sits silently in your computer until you actually want it to run. If so, it gathers all the information and sends it to your Prey web control panel or directly to your mailbox. The thief will never know his movements are being watched.

IBM ThinkPad R40 aku masih lagi ditahan di unit rawatan rapi, Hospital Vital Computer, Plaza Low Yat. Menurut laporan yang baru aku terima, sekumpulan pakar bedah telah mencuba sedaya upaya untuk menyelamatkannya, namun selagi pemindahan organ yang mengalami kerosakan belum dilakukan, keadaan pesakit tidak akan pulih.
Setelah 4 buah hospital memaklumkan bahawa sememangnya tiada cara penyelesaian lain melainkan menukar organ yang rosak tersebut, akhirnya aku pasrah dan sekitar jam 12.45pm tadi, aku telah menghubungi pihak hospital untuk membuat kepastian sebelum tempahan organ dibuat. Pihak hospital memaklumkan bahawa organ yang ditempah akan tiba dalam masa 2 minggu lagi dan kos pembedahan dan pengantian organ menelan belanja RM900. Dengan mendapat restu kedua orang tua ku, aku pun bersetuju untuk menjalankan pembedahan penukaran organ tersebut.
Sama-sama lah kita mendoakan agar si pesakit, IBM ThinkPad R40, akan cepat pulih kerna kepulangannya amatlah dinanti-nantikan.
