新华网4月17日电 据科技博客网站Gizmodo报道，智能手机公司，包括苹果、谷歌等，签署了一项承诺书，使得手机偷窃变得更难了，至少从2015年7月起。

这项承诺书使得每个手机用户在手机被窃后，可以远程锁机。iOS和安卓系统已经拥有了这一功能，即“发现我的iPhone”和“安卓系统管理”这两个软件，更多类似的软件将从2015年7月起出现在别的手机系统上。

事实上，苹果、谷歌、HTC、华为、摩托罗拉、微软、诺基亚和三星已经跟美国五大手机经销商签署了协议。这已经是不小的进步，因为就在不久前，手机经销商为了卖出更多保险拒绝加入反偷窃计划。

这项计划将获得立法者和消费者认可。纽约司法部长艾瑞克 施耐德曼和加利福尼亚州长马克 莱诺都很认可，并希望看到进一步的发展。莱诺说，他被这个项目鼓舞，希望无线产业得到更好的发展，不仅可以保护消费者，也能让街区变得更加安全。

的确，他说的很对。但至少，我们应该确保朝着正确的方向前进。

The Smartphone Industry Pledge That Could Stop Your Phone Being Stolen

The likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft and other major figures in the smartphone industry have signed a pledge that will make it harder to steal cell phones—from July 2015, at least.

The pledge sees the companies promise to enable every smartphone user with the ability to remotely brick and wipe their phones when they're stolen. That feature is, admittedly, already a function on iOS and Android, with Find My iPhone and Android Device Manager respectively—but now similar anti-theft technology will appear on other handsets from July 2015.

Indeed, Apple, Google, HTC, Huawei, Motorola, Microsoft, Nokia and Samsung have already signed the pledge, along with all five major US cell carriers. That's some progress, given that those same carriers not long since rejected anti-theft plans so they could sell more insurance.
