Apple to offer new "Find My iPhone" feature for lost or stolen iPhones
June 8th, 2009 - Posted by Joe
Apple's pending release of the third generation of iPhone software later this summer will include a special feature that allows users to remotely locate their lost or stolen iPhone from the web.
The only catch is that this new feature will only be available to subscribers of Apple's MobileMe service which costs $99 per year after a 60 day free trial. While it would be better if this service was free to all iPhone users, linking an iPhone to a specific MobileMe account acts as an additional level of security verification since it ensures that a third party couldn't gain access to an iPhone's location unless they had access to the MobileMe account connected to that phone.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My blog goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
