Mac laptops are not exactly cheap, making them obvious targets for thieves. Thanks to Panda Studio's JackSMS, Mac laptop owners can somehow be assured that nobody can take their precious laptops away without them knowing about it.

JackSMS will work on a Mac laptop - iBook, PowerBook, MacBook, or MacBook Pro - with the built-in sudden motion sensor (SMS). Making use of the sensor, JackSMS triggers an alarm whenever someone tries to move the Mac laptop, close its lid, or disconnect the power cord. If you're away from the Mac laptop and cannot hear the alarm, you'll still know if someone is trying to move your Mac via a mobile text message being sent whenever the alarm goes off.

Also featured in this Panda Studios application is the option to lock the screen while JackSMS is on or when alarm is triggered, plus the SMS sensitivity and alarm duration is adjustable. Its Applescript support will work with Salling Clicker or BluePhoneElite.

JackSMS is currently in v1.0b3, where triggering of alarm when lid is closed has been integrated. To use, just install JackSMS anywhere in your computer, launch it and it stays as a menu item. To activate the alarm, choose "Activate Alarm". For Applescript support, refer to the "AppleScript Example for JackSMS".

If you want to keep your Mac laptops safe, give JackSMS a go...better be safe than sorry.
