ialertu spontaneusly starts the alarm when already inclined, even if nobody touch it.... I think that this is a big issue to solve since I'm often working with the macbook inclined...

what the?
Hi David Reitter, I certainly hope you at least asked the developer if you too could post on his posting as you too have done on Lockdown. If so great, though why not post to the developer and have this an a new beta rather than taking away from this. I am probably just being a tad over ethical

I can confirm the bugs the others mentioned. Sometimes it does take a picture, sometimes it doesn't. But it never emails it anywhere I told it to.
But the show-off is priceless! Cool bling! And I think any thief will remove him/herself post-haste when that siren goes off! Terrific!

But the 'Beta' testing has been going on for 2 years now. When will there be a version 1.X ?
