GPS Chip to Locate Laptops and Block Hard Disks

Your personal data is very important to you,right !!.And if by chance its stolen,the situation is horrible then.You may get the hard disk encrypted by some security software but there is no solution,when someone steals your laptop.Now 'Ericsson' and 'Intel' are designing a solution for this very problem.


The two companies are developing a chip for dual purpose,one to track the laptop location and the other to block the hard disk.With this,data security will come in true means and a normal user ca get an assurance of its data.

This technology will be put to use in the mid of 2009.Its not out yet which companies would be going with this idea,but surely it would be appreciated by all.
