Testimonials

Arik & Luka (TekTrak) have built something that MobileMe and other "phone tracking devices" don't provide, location history and/or last known location (in case the reliable battery runs out, or reception is weak, or network overload issues). This is something small businesses need as well as households. Too much data on devices today. Protect it!

I need to get TekTrak for my son's iPod Touch, which he just lost over the weekend :-(

Sorry to hear that, Bambi. We don't recommend TekTrak for non-3G devices, because the app requires internet connectivity to send its location to the server.

iPods, for example, are only connected to the web via Wi-Fi, and if they are lost in a place without being connected to Wi-Fi, then you would not be able to locate them.

Are we in a bubble? What do you think are the main differences compared to the late 90s? on July 04

The bubble is in a few stocks vs. 250 (that went public in '99); companies with inflated prices have more rev today vs 10 yrs ago

Please do not do it on my account! It's interesting data, if available, but it's not worth digging through old docs.
