Laptop GPS tracking...with a cellphone?
I've been thinking about alternative ways of tracking a potentially lost stolen laptop...I've been having trouble with Computrace Lojack for Laptops they're working on a fix being incompatible with some of my software and causing Windows errors.What about using a GPS enabled cellphone to track the computer? Verizon has the Chaperone Child Parent service maybe there's a way to get a really cheap small phone and fit it inside the computer somewhere...tie in a modified charger to the laptop's charger port and it could use it's own battery for power and the laptop's power as a regenerative power supply to charge the cellphone when the laptop is plugged in, most cellphones will operate for nearly a week idle on a charge...and laptops usually need charging daily.Thoughts? Good? Bad?I suppose the next step could be a ExpressCard or PCMCIA card that spoofs a micro drive memory and all and has a hidden GPS transciever maybe even use it as a backup memory and then you could use the cellular GPS transciever to recover your important data remotely.Or has this been done somewhere?
