Note that BBEdit has a Mac App Store FAQ page where they explain:

In BBEdit and TextWrangler, authenticated saves (the ability to save changes to files that you do not own) and the command-line tools are not available in the Mac App Store versions, in order to comply with Apple’s submission guidelines.

And then provide methods to circumvent these restrictions.

Linksys WVC54GA and WVC80N cameras will do this.

Bwahaha! Never had a 13-year-old call me that before. Life never ceases to amaze me.

Actually, the vibrating action is quite cleansing.

The kid's dad is chief of police. The kid already has a different perspective on what the police do than the rest of us. If anything I think the lesson here became "the police do work for Daddy's family" and maybe friends. Now, if you'd made it 2 cops instead of 10, and a class of students, you could have had a teaching lesson about theft and recovery. That'd actually be novel, and appropriate.

Just this past weekend my wife lost her iPhone after stopping at a highway rest area. I knew from Find My iPhone that it was at the rest area, but there was no phone on the grass at the GPS point. Then the point moved to the far side of the parking lot. It wasn't there, either. It moved several more times, all of which led to the conclusion that it had to be inside - that despite claiming a location and even drawing an accuracy circle on the map, it was not where it claimed to be. I searched inside several buildings, had the attendants check the ladies' room (all the while using Find My iPhone to make the phone beep).

Finally, after over an hour, an attendant and I went out to the dumpsters in back, stuck our heads in, and heard it ringing. That guided us to the right bag, and lo and behold, there it was.

So yes, Find My iPhone was terrific in that without it, I would never have been able to recover my wife's iPhone. However, given what I went through in an otherwise relatively empty area, I can't imagine what one would do if the signal was coming from near a large apartment complex, a school, a parking garage, even a dense neighborhood of single-family homes could show the GPS point in the wrong location if the phone's inside. Sometimes it's just better to take advantage of the remote wipe feature and start all over.

I cannot, of course, defend in any way the use of police resources in this particular case. I'm sure we'd all want to help our kid out similarly, but I imagine the smart among us would have done it informally and off the clock.

The best part of the entire linked-to page was the email addressing at the bottom of the announcement. UUCP paths. Those truly were the days.

I can't see a 3-year-old sitting less than a foot directly in FRONT of the vehicle, either.

While this is a nice idea for urban areas, the majority of the US is still rural. There are places where people probably never in their lives have to "back into a parking place." Why are we going to force them to pay for this technology that they do not need and do not want?

You have to have an Apple ID, yes. That, however, does not have any public reflection. It's just an account, used for things like the iPhone app store. You can make several ID's and use different ones for different purposes. You do not need to have a me.com email address, a Ping account, or turn on iCloud.

Thx for the clarification.

How is this an untethered jailbreak when step 4 is to connect via USB cable?

And why is the web server running as root?

That's not highly secure. That's a challenge.
