Will google maps help GadgetTrak is like Lojack for your iPod or other gadgets like USB flash drives or digital cameras. GadgetTrak works by installing files on your device that sit quietly until you alert the company that the device has been stolen. The next time the device is accessed, the iPod will send identifying information you can use to track the stolen device like IP address, host name, computer name and geographical location through the internet connection of the device to which the iPod or other gadget is attached.

Problem one is, rather obviously, what if the device is not connected to the internet? If the stolen device is not connected to a device which can access the internet, you’re out of luck. Plain and simple.

This is not like the proverbial homing device attached to a car bumper. If the device is not connected to the internet or there are problems connecting with the internet like firewalls, chances are good your iPod is gone forever. According to the company’s website, files are installed in the root of your device.

This is good information for the iPod thief who will now likely reformat the stolen iPod before using it or just turn your stolen iPod into a Linux iPod. Notice the title of this post: “Track Your Stolen iPod”, not “Find Your Stolen iPod” or “Locate Your Stolen iPod”. The chances that you will “find” or “locate” your stolen iPod with the information sent from your device if it is connected to the internet seem to be “slim and none”.

IP addresses aren’t really going to tell you too much unless your brillant thief has a static IP address. Computer and user name could help but what are you going to do with that information? Are you going to be banging on the door of every apartment building with the shared IP address of your iPod looking for “Admin’s Desktop”?

Good luck. And that’s probably what the police will tell you unless you have a bigger needle in the haystack. You can certainly “track” you stolen iPod.

You might even be able to enjoy your stolen iPod’s journey vicariously as you watch different IP addressess accumulate in your account. Somebody will certainly make this the next Google Maps mashup - pushpin locations of your stolen iPod’s travels. Your iPod may become the next stolen pink flamingo.

Some of the company’s other plans to help stop theft of your iPod? Stickers. Those theft deterring car alarm stickers will soon be making their way to an iPod near you.

Fake blinking lights work good too. Of course, you could always just make your iPod look like a box of breath mints. Nobody ever steals breath mints.

1 Google maps will help you find your IPod if you know the name and address of the person who stole it. If you downloaded IHound into your IPod, you can track it. If you didn't get the IHound app, you're out of luck.

2 There are several kinds of tracking software for digital devices, unfortunately they have to be installed before the loss of the item. If you know where it was stolen, say at school, you can post a small reward for it's return, no questions asked, but that is a long shot. It has probably been resold by now.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
