Flickr Find: Mac mini Security through Obscurity

Matt Billings needed a theft deterrent for his new Mac mini since he works in a public, heavily trafficked area. Most of us would have simply used the cable lock slot Apple was kind enough to include on the back of the Mac mini, but I guess that wasn’t good enough for Matt. Instead, he opted to hide his Mac mini inside a gutted out beige Dell case.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
