Repair Spy
Takes a screenshot and a webcam snapshot and emails them to flickr. Requires isightcapture. Hacked up to spy on the Apple repair team as they try to repair my Mac Book Pro's backlight for the second time.
Toss this in your crontab like so, making sure to run it as the user that you provide to the Apple Techs
