Get caught up in technology with InterrupTech: August 03, 2009

The world of tech moves fast. If you don’t slow down, you might miss it. This week, plenty of stories: The Palm Pre is all over the place. Blip.TV partners with TiVo, Roku, and plenty more. The official Google Voice app rejected by Apple’s App Store. iTablet rumors picking up steam.

Motorbike thief thwarted by GPS snitch

Twice thieves have stolen this guy’s motorbike on the tough streets of New York. Twice, this guy has led police to his bike to recover it. Smooth. It makes the $300 investment in GPS Snitch and the $14.99 per month charges seem pretty small.

The GPS Snitch works with both GPS and cell tower tech to deliver text messages alerting you to movement beyond a perimeter you set up. The GPS data can be viewed online or even via a cool BlackBerry blip application that guides you to your property. The tracking updates every 5 seconds or so and can port the data to Google Earth.
