I had some doubts. If someone steals a laptop, first thing he will do is to format it. What measures have been taken, so that the above Locate Laptop software is not removed? Moreover, just an on the fly idea, but cant something be done to remove the necessity of an internet connection? Perhaps by using RFID as pointed by Sudhir. cheers, Sameer IIT Guwahati

Every laptop and high end mobile manufacturers must make it a standard feature. by placing unique identification keys in the chips which can be tracked after lodging a police complaint

Thanks to the web based Laptop recovery tech thru IP address. I was wondering if we can use active RFID technology for similar purpose.
