Science dailyAdeona Warns of Instability; OpenDHT Mothballed gbickford writes 'Adeona, the first open source system for tracking the location of your lost or stolen laptop, was featured on Slashdot last year.

OpenDHT removed the need for a centralized database with tracking information, which in effect prevents a 3rd party from tracking a user's whereabouts. OpenDHT was Sean Rhea's Ph.D. project back in 2005 and he has decided to officially bow out of maintaining it as of July 1st, which has left the developers of Adeona looking for another back end to store location information an SlashdotFormer trainer says Belmont is `perfect race` for filly Hal Wiggins, the 66-year-old who trained Rachel Alexandra from her debut on May 22 of last year until she was sold on May 6, believes she'll get the job done if she is entered in the June 6 Belmont Stakes.
