Mozilla Labs recently offered a sneak peak and download of Geode. Geode is one of the first applications to use the new W3C geolocation specification API. It is currently available as a plug-in for Firefox 3 (and seems to only support Windows and Mac systems at this time). Mozilla Labs indicates it will likely be a new feature integrated in an upcoming browser release.

Location means nothing. Few things piss me off more than when I type in www.foo.com and get automatically redirected to www.foo.se just because the web site managed to detect that I'm in Sweden. I don't know who came up with this idea but he or she deserves to be beaten. I typed www.foo.com because that was the web site I wanted to go, when I want to go to www.foo.se I'll type www.foo.se.
We need to see less of this sort of idiotic second guessing by developers, not more. I can see no good and useful purpose for this software. If I want to seperate work and home RSS feeds give me a menu and I'll tell the software where I am and what feeds I want. I mean what happens if I'm working from home one day and want to check my 'work' feeds or if I want to check my 'home' feeds while taking a break at work.
