“Alongside yesterday’s announcements related to OS X Lion, Apple pushed out a fourth developer preview version of the next-generation operation system set to make its public launch next month,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors.
“Among the new features in this build of Lion is ‘Find My Mac,’ a feature similar to the one already in use for iOS devices,” Slivka reports. “One user has provided screenshots of the system in action, showing first of all how Find My Mac can be enabled in System Preferences, revealing that feature allows users to lock the screen of a lost machine while allowing guest access only to Safari in order to help facilitate recovery of the machine.”
Slivka reports, “The user also reveals how his MacBook Air could be located using the Find My iPhone app on his iPhone.”

“Find my keys” would be way cool.
NFC will replace your keys.
Dittos!
I’d like to know who writes this stuff. HOW do you enable Find My Mac?
Why do you care who writes it when you’re clearly not reading it?
“Find My Mac can be enabled in System Preferences”
*Where* exactly in System Preferences, Mr. MeMyselfl?
System Preferences isn’t all *that* big a field to search over.
Note it is only available in OS 10.7 (Lion). You can’t find it in Snow Leopard (10.6).
I don’t see any rumor about that information news apple events need to update “push alert ” for iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.3
I’ve got the developer preview 4 of mac os x lion and the feature of FIND MY MAC is not anywhere in system preference, so please if anyones know how to active it, just let me know…
