Mozilla Labs has unveiled Geode — a plugin that will take advantage of the W3C Geolocation Spec in Firefox 3.1 . The plan is to make the web browser app location - mindful so that somewhere down the line , you could visit a site like Yelp on your laptop in a strange townspeople and it will mechanically find your location and extend nearby restaurant suggestions and centering . Mozilla also offered other potential examples like : RSS readers that aline base on whether or not your are at piece of work or at menage , localisation - restricted logins and website that return news based on your strong-arm emplacement . apparently , most of the sites on the web are not currently compatible with Geode , but it is easy to see how something like this could really vary the elbow room you channel-surf the web on your laptop — much like the iPhone has with handsets . In the interim , a preview version is uncommitted to Firefox 3 users starting today — so you could complain the tires on it a bit before it is fully mix into 3.1 . [ Mozilla LabsviaLifehacker ]
