Yesterday Apple pushed Developer Preview 4 of OS X Lion to registered developers. This developer preview will likely be very similar to what customers will be able to purchase next month. With that said, and we’d seen evidence of this before, that “Find my Mac” is now a part of Lion.
Find my Mac can be enabled in System Preferences, and it shows that users can lock the screen and closing access to others, but allowing access only to Safari, to help in the recovery of the Mac.
One can even look up the location of the Mac using the Find My iPhone app on an iPhone. There, similar functionality exists as it has before- you can have the Mac play a sound and send a message. Alternatively, you can lock the screen and/or wipe the drive.
On the screen on the Mac a gray screen appears with boxes to input a generated security code to unlock the Mac.
So there’s that.
