iHound: Lojack For Your USB Devices
The software acts like a secret beacon, transmitting a device’s IP address, computer name, and ISP name whenever it is plugged into a computer. For now the software is free, but Mullen plans on charging something along the lines of $1 per device per month, starting next February. (The first device will likely remain free, though, as a way to get people to try the software). The pricing is similar to that of GadgetTrak, which does the same thing. Warning: iHound does not yet support Macs or cell phones (GadgetTrak does).
