Minimal Mac

Your Mac, simplified.

“Airlock allows your Mac to lock itself, plain and simple. Using your iPhone or iPod Touch, Bluetooth, and a smidgen of pixie dust, Airlock determines whether you’re near your computer. When you leave the room - poof! - your Mac locks itself. “And when I come back?” You guessed it: your Mac unlocks. You can also customize Airlock to perform specific actions as you come and go - have your computer talk to you, log-in or out of iChat, walk the dog, and such.”

I’ve been using it for a bit now. Very clever and works as advertised. I love stuff like this. I mean, if you have a phone with Bluetooth why not put it to work doing several things for you beyond hands free talking. (thx to my Canabalt nemesis Phil Coffman)
