Find my iMac - NOT!!


an open gripe, apple. 2 weeks ago, imac stolen home. police asked me turn on find iphone feature , hopeful glee, turned on notification , computer lockdown. wait thieves turn on, signal, locks down , call cops! right? nope!! totally wrong. turns out bizarre reason, find imac doesn't work find iphone/ipad. see, other 2 devices, last known location of device, 24 hours ago. imac must on trace it, , guess geniuses (your word, not mine) don't think might useful have same 24 hours of tracing signal on imac?



burglars turned on imac last night @ 1:30am , kinda missed email, homing beacon sure enough locked down , scared crap out of them sent signal can reveal location. rest assured bad guys, , useless imac safe. apple doesn't gather bit of helpful info. now, if bad guys, ever turn thing on again? , if unassuming buyer purchased stolen goods? nope, guess it's towel rack now.



if iphone falls out of pocket, hits ground , goes dead, have last known location 24 hours. imac going misplaced? oops, dropped 30lb imac, must have fallen out of arms , didn't notice? no! reasonable , common scenario stolen. why wouldn't record last known location? not useful technology now, it? thanks, guess home movies of kids gone forever.

ps - tried posting apple's forum, there, programming sophisticated enough not allow it. sigh.
 

i feel pain , heart goes out you.
colleague had similar experience.
improve feature ton!

Sean Penn, "Chapo Guzman", and Rolling Stone

if you've spare twenty minutes or (and inclination) take @ sean penn's rambling account of meeting (then) fugitive mexican drug lord "chapo" guzman. its interesting on number of levels. not quality of sean penn's journalistic work. first observation had there remarkably little actual interviewing going on. penn's limited spanish ("hola" , "adios") played part. guzman made number of statements, claiming turned narcotics because there no other means of earning living. beyond that, nothing groundbreaking. sean penn himself of polarizing figure. guy rose fame jeff spicoli fancies himself of outlaw journalist, without writing chops of hunter s. thompson. prose of intelligent man; stylist ambitions out of reach of abilities. uses word "brume" describe aftereffects of bout of flatulence. pretentious word (i presume) not technically accurate. mentions twice expensive wristwatches sported guzman's sons -
