Hopefully this year, Santa will be placing a MacBook/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air under your tree. If you are lucky enough to get one of these laptops, you will quickly realize that they are a hot commodity. So, the last thing you would want is to have someone walk off with it. Other than physically locking down the machine, there is now another way to keep your Mac safe and get some peace of mind. GadgetTrak is a theft recovery and loss prevention solution company specializing in mobile devices. To help keep your MacBook secure, they have released MacTrak, which is the equivalent of a LoJack for your laptop.
MacTrak installs on your machine and uses the built iSight camera and Wi-Fi to help locate and recover your machine. The program allows the user to activate MacTrak from any computer in the world and as long as the stolen Mac is powered and connected to the Internet. It will photograph the perpetrator and geolocate the machine and send this information to a preselected email and also be uploaded to the user’s Flickr account.
Basically, if you own any iteration Mac and run Leopard, then this should be the first program you install on your machine! So let’s get a better look.

InsideHW.com has reviewed Garmin Oregon 300 GPS device. Here is a quote from this review:
“This time we have tested Garmin GPS device and we were very satisfied with its performance. Oregon 300 seems robust at first glance, and it has a single button, for power control. It has touch screen display which can be locked if it’s needed. Design of this device contributes to the fact that it fits pretty good in both hands, but because of slight extension on right side, we must notice that it provides more natural handling to right-handed users. However, no matter in which hand you are holding it, navigation commands are very easy to get to…â€

G.SKILL FM-25S2S-64GB SSD Drive Review:
Link: http://www.rbmods.com/Articles/Gskill/SSD_64GB/1.php
Quote: SSD drives are slowly making it on to the market but the prices still scare alot of people of. The SSD drive does not have any movable parts which makes it completely silent and also more well performing than our current harddrives. Price and small drives are still the main issue but I have seen over 200GB drives hitting the market already although today we are taking a look at a 64GB SATA 2 drive from Gskill.
Title: OCZ Special Ops PC3-10666 2×2GB @ APH Networks
* Description: Oh, what a difference two years make. When we reviewed the OCZ
Special Ops Urban Elite PC2-6400 2×1GB in December 2006, DDR2 was just
gaining momentum, costs as much as performance DDR3 costs now, and the
revolutionary first wave of Core 2 Duos 6-series for desktops and 7-series
for mobile were still fresh in the hands of die-hard enthusiasts. I was lucky
enough to be an owner of a then-amazing Core 2 Duo T7400 based laptop, and a
significantly overclocked E6300, in which I still have to this day. In those
days, I was enjoying a relatively care-free life in high school, compared to
my current uber intense engineering schedule. It’s kind of funny how I’m
still the Editor-in-Chief at APH Network despite all this — I guess this
provides me with some sort of relief and entertainment. Heck, I lived in
another city towards the end of 2006. Do I miss the days? To be honest, I
sort of do. As I run the last stretch and my university first term pulls to
an end with less than two weeks before finals, and daily prayers of, “Dear
God, I need a miracle”, and piling up tons of review products before I
actually write about them, here’s one that separates itself from the rest:
the OCZ Special Ops PC3-10666 2×2GB. While the OCZ Special Ops is a pair of
value gaming DDR3 RAM, being ‘value-oriented’ does not mean it has to ‘look’
value-oriented. With a cool looking heatsink following the tradition of the
original, comes with OCZ’s excellent warranty program, and a retail price of
approximately $130 USD for 2×2GB at press time, it’s definitely something
would not miss your search. Let’s pop open the package and see how the OCZ
Special Ops PC3-10666 2×2GB dual channel kit steps up.
