News Item-A Pennsylvania School that had issued over 2000 laptops to students is facing Lawsuits after one student allegedly was cited for inappropriate behaviour in his home by a Principal..The Evidence? A photo taken by the Laptop Webcam
...The school claimed the laptop webcams were only to be remotely activated for the sole purpose of identifying a perp if the machine was ever reported stolen...hmmmm...Looks like somebody didn't get the Memo..

I'd read elsewhere about this Laptop feature,and had posted a discussion about a Woman who'd had her Laptop stolen,and got it back by using this method...
A good idea,when used for the purpose for which it was intended.
What do You think?

The Stolen one came up in a "Dumb Crooks" story,where the thief apparently failed to realise the significance of a webcam on a wireless machine...of course,having "Phone Home" software on the machine that'll report in once it reconnects is good to have too..
