Warning! - Protect Your Laptop from Theft According to the
technology news organization ARS Technia, the year 2007 could be considered
the "Year of the Laptop." Laptop sales rose 21 percent last year,
and industry analysts predict that they'll exceed desktop sales for the first
time in 2008. These statistics aren't surprising since laptops offer the
convenience of being able to work and stay in touch wherever you go.
If your laptop is
stolen, report it immediately to the local authorities. And if it's a
business laptop, be sure to report it to your employer so they're aware of
potential data breaches.
