Sorry to burst your Big Brother fantasies, but this is an option that
is available on all Macs, iPads and iPhones.

I've used it with my iPhone on several occasions. One time I had gone
out to lunch, and when I got back, I realized that I no longer had my phone. I
was ready to go back to the restaurant, but first I used Find My iPhone to
locate it, and discovered that it was in the parking lot at work. Apparently it
had fallen out of my pocket in my friend's car on the trip back from the
restaurant, so recovering it was pretty simple.
