Without watching the 21 minute video, let me just ask: What was the resolution?

Jumping around the video for a minute, it looks like the hacker was able to remotely activate the webcam and potentially other functions. Was there a recovery, as well?

It's amusing as heck to watch, but the upshot is he gets it back, after totally humiliating and "pwning" the thief. Funny video.

Watching the whole video was hilarious. He ended up getting his computer back and most of his data.

I found this really funny. He's lucky, it did take him 2 years to get it back though.

Skip the first 3 minutes, the rest is very easy to watch. I never watch youtube videos of over 2 minutes, this one was really watchable
