Add Personalized Text To your Mac OS X Lion Lock Screen.

  In earlier versions of Mac OS X this feature wasn’t available for all apps , it was only available only through third-party apps or hacks. Now this feature enables you to add your contact information to the lock screen which might help you in Retrieving your Mac back if you lose it.
