Geode - an ugly looking “stone”.
I just saw in a post on the Register that Mozilla labs released Geode, a geolocation extension for firefox. I had a bit mixed feelings immediately because, while I have previously mentioned that I know there is no privacy for all that use electronic means to communicate, I am at the same time a bit hesitant to really take the step of being the one actively giving out information that I would rather not.. in this case, my geographic location to all kinds of personalised service location technology.
However, out of sheer curiosity as to how the whole thing functions, I tried to download it but sadly I got a message that it doesnt work on my build of firefox. (3.0.3 on Ubuntu hardy). Will wait a little while and try again.. if I still remember or have interest!
