A Mac Scorned

Friday, Jan 25, 2002

Briefly, I point you to a great saga of one guy's tech adventure to reclaim his sister's stolen iMac, using the power of Timbuktu and AppleScript.

Deep down I think a lot of people wish this happened to them, so they could really try out their hacking skills without fear of criminal persecution, because they're hacking into their own machine, stolen and placed somewhere else on the net.
