A Fun Business Idea

There is a story in USA Today about a user of the SETI Home application that
used it to find his wife's stolen computer.  Since the SETI app wakes up
from time to time and phones home, maybe this is a business software
business.  Sell a small self-installed app and a service that listens for
computers to phone home, checks against the valid address, and automatically
sends email to the owner if it varies from the approved/registered list.

Seems simple, desirable and effective.  It works for rental cars.
