The Back to My Mac is only for MobileMe users, and Airport Express remains unchanged, but if you're looking forward to being able to access a bunch of files easily while you're at work/home/somewhere else, it's pretty handy. [Apple Insider]

As a result, police were able to arrest the thieves and recover most of the stolen goods, which included two laptops, two flat-screen televisions, two iPods, gaming consoles, DVDs and computer games.

This plan first launched into action when a co-worker of the nameless woman at the Apple Store noticed her computer online and notified the woman. She was then able to log into her computer and the rest is history. So the moral of the story is this: If you steal a MacBook, please be sure to cover the iSight with some tape. Otherwise, you could also be charged with a second degree felony. [Iohud via TUAW]
