TweetMyMac Remote Controls Your Mac via Twitter (via Lifehacker) There are a few commands they’ve rigged into this thing, but the two which intrigue me the most are: say and isight which will allow you to remotely make your Mac speak a phrase and take a photo using the isight respectively. In the event of theft of your beloved laptop, I can see the isight feature possibly coming in handy, and I suppose you can abuse your thief using the say command but that would possibly alert them to the fact you might have snapped their photo. But then again, using this method to recover stolen property also depends on whether the thief is stupid enough to hook it up to the internet with all your gear still installed… Then again, again, there was that story of the person who was able to use a similar feature on mobileme to photograph her laptop thief. So it’s not entirely inconceivable.
