LENOVO ANNOUNCES LOST & FOUND SERVICE FOR THINKPAD OWNERS

Lenovo has announced a Lenovo Lost & Found service. As the name itself suggests this is a service that helps people return lost Lenovo notebooks to their owners. Presently the service is only available for ThinkPad notebooks that have Absolute Software's Computrace. Here is how the Lost & Found service works.

Owners who have lost their PC need to flag it with Absolute so that the device will automatically be locked. When the PC is turned on the screen will display a message indicating that the laptop is a lost one and will give a toll-free number for the finder to contact Lenovo. The toll-free number found on a sticker on the outside of the laptop can also be used for the purpose.

Upon receiving the call, Lenovo will register the laptop for Lost & Found and send a pre-paid shipping box to the finder. The finder will then send the notebook to Lenovo. Lenovo will then ship the notebook to its owner. The owner can then unlock the ThinkPad through Absolute after turning the PC on.

ThinkPad owners who bought the notebook with Absolute Software’s Computrace can avail of the service at no additional cost.

KINGSTON DATATRAVELER MEMORY STICK IS DREAM FOR NETBOOK OWNERS

I'm sure that those of us who own a netbook which carries the usual 4, 8, 16 and occasional 32GB of SSD will be real happy for this. Kingston Technology has just unveiled their latest set of memory sticks that are aimed at those who are looking for something small enough to hold all their Elvis tracks on or something a little more private.

In any case these flash drives come in sizes of 32GB and 64GB making them the largest in their entire DataTraveler lineup. And if that wasn't enough the work on all three major OS (Window's, Mac and yes Linux). Should you be interested in one you can get them for $132 and $177 for the 32GB and 64GB respectfully.
