  • Disseminated MAC disease frequently occurs in AIDS patients due to a very low immune system but is a different type of disease than chronic lung MAC. The MAC disease in AIDS is widely disseminated throughout the body and rarely involves the lung, while pulmonary MAC only involves the lungs.
  • In this video I will tell you how to crack and kill Os X in just 1 minute.It means you can just corrupt someones iMac, Mac Pro, Mac Mini in 1 minute.
  • But at a certain point, Apple’s operating systems (OS) begin to become obsolete, and their new operating systems stop working on their older machines. So, at some point, even if you fully upgrade your old Mac, you will run into problems with newer software, and need to buy a newer machine.

Good luck on this, but the first thing any thief is going to do is remove and wipe the hard drive. Third-party software is not going to get it back like this. Presumably a 'Find my Mac' service would work, since by merely installing the Lion OS everything would be in place to send updates to Apple.

Fortunately most thieves are not that good.

To keep a thief from easily wiping the hard drive, you should lock the computer's firmware. Once that's done, it would take a Mac-savvy thief to figure out how to boot it from an install disk--and even then it's unlikely that he would do so before it's been booted up at least once with the current OS.
Trying to get the police to act on the information, however, is another matter entirely.

First off - technically if you have the Firmware locked - you won't be able to get past the Password in order to boot to a Disc.
Secondly - there are ways around the Firmware Password.

First off, if you know the password, you certainly can boot a firmware locked Mac from an install disk, bootable external drive, or NetBoot server. We do it all the time at the school where I work.
Secondly, yes, there are ways to bypass the firmware lock when you don't know the password. That's why I said a 'Mac-savvy thief.' Most thieves, however, won't realize that the firmware is locked until after they've booted the computer and the tracking software (Prey, Undercover, etc.) has had the chance to do its work.

I wouldn't assume that most laptop thiefs are smart enough to wipe the hard drive. Remember that most theft are crimes of opportunity. If some bozo sees your laptop lying around and decides to snatch it, he isn't necessarily going to be smart enough to wipe it before using it.

Is anyone else troubled by the line 'Prey... is not visible in the Activity Monitor'?
As a genuine query, how can any Unix or OS X process not be visible to Activity Monitor.app or 'top' from Teminal.app?

From the README file, it looks like it will add an entry to the root crontab to run a shell script every 20 minutes.
It will check for the existence of a (user-defined?) URL, and if that 'does not exist' (according to the docs), 'the PC has been stolen.' I see a few pretty obvious problems with this technique.
Also the 'Wifi autoconnect': 'If enabled, Prey will attempt to hook onto to the nearest open WiFi hotspot when no Internet connection is found.' Yowsa.
I guess I will wait until Apple comes up with a solution...

The website for Prey doesn't list any Mac products (a search of their knowledge base for 'Mac OS X' or for Macintosh, turned up no results(!)), and when I clicked on the download button, Firefox tells me that the file is an exe file (I don't have Windows on my Mac, thanks)...??
Where are they hiding the Mac version?? The link you posted isn't it, apparently.

I loaded up the link from the original hint and clicked the download button!

Assuming you want the thief to start using your laptop so you can track him/her, why not have your laptop log in automatically to an ordinary user account created specially for the purpose? You could even have Safari or Firefox as a login item, just for that extra bit of help.
Ok, so you'd have to fast user switch every time you booted up but that's not much of a price to pay for the peace of mind of knowing if your laptop is stolen you've done your best to ensure the thief gives him/herself away.

Is Prey safe to use? Anyone have experience with it?

Well, the software is open source (https://github.com/tomas/prey), so there is pretty small chance that it is malignant.

I am almost loosing it back to windows,
My MAC POWER BOOK, 3GB RAM, 500GB HD INTEL BASED with Snow Leopard and WINDOWS XP installed.
Wonder if anyone experienced the following:
Both in WINDOWS or MAC:
All applications and browsers i.e. OFFICE, Firefox, Safari, etc and specially annoying when using WORD for Mac, it stops responding for about 8 seconds and the comes back up, this is for everything, even the mouse (usb transmiter - wireless) needs to or three clicks before it does anything.
Do I need to re-install all my O.S. again?
Thank you,
LCL

I do suppose in some instances there would be stupid thiefs that would snatch a laptop or whatever and simply go home and hook it up to the internet and start using it.
HOWEVER - being a techie w/ half a brain that I am - if I were to steal a laptop and claim it as my own. Before I connected it to the internet - I would do a complete system wipe (prob zero things out a couple of times) then a fresh install.
- even maybe swap out the drive for a differnt one altogether (if I had one sitting around)
Additionally force a change on the Mac Addresses of the primary hardware. People probably would probably forget to do this - but then again most laptop owners don't think to make note of their Mac Address info anyway.
Then remove visible SNs on the exterior.
Clean laptop aside from fingerprints - stickers - other identifying marks.
