It might asks it now, but once they bung it in FF3.3 things might be different.

Since it’s obvious none of you have actually tried the extension, it asks you how accurate you want the location info to be, or if to send it at all.

First they were watching you, now they’re making you hold the camera.

“Is it really that useful to make us load yet another extension?” – No. Who’s forcing you, icebrain?

I never said the extension should be banned and sent to hell, I’m just saying that I can’t see how can this be really useful to anyone. Which doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have written it if they were in the mood.
But can you see yourself using it more than a couple a times per month or even year?

“we’re certain that we’ll see many more uses for a tools like Geode.”

Can you spot the typo?

Yeay privacy risking! I mean, why do you want websites to know exactly where you are, except a dozen times a year? Is it really needed an extension that can fill out a address for you?

As for work, that’s plain stupid. If you have internet in your home and work, what’s the probability they will have the same AP essid? It would be much easier/safer to adjust RSS content based on that.

Can’t see the use. Yeah if you’re looking for local things, (you already know stuff within blocks of your locale).
The whole point of the net is to know what’s beyond. I usually search stuff from Japan, UK, Belgium, England, etc. And I’m not there.

While out of town and needing to eat? I doubt you will sit down for 10 minutes for a net-based recommendation.
