 :tup: Geosense - a free software-driven location sensor for Windows 7 (only)

...no GPS hardware required

 :lol:  looks like you can geolocate yourself with just a Firefox 3.5 (or higher) HTML5 browser (no extra driver required like Geosense) , any OS, and this website:

http://www.browsergeolocation.com

It gives you the same rough approximate location as Geosense (without wi-fi).... cool...  but Geosense with wi-fi enabled will pinpoint you to within steps of your location.  way cool!

Interesting toys to play with till some real applications come along.   :snicker:

Street View now covers HK and Macau. Here's the old pier at Coloane.

Neobie:
Thanks for the news Slowhatch! I'm ecstatic! :jumpy:

Slowhatch:
Take it for a test spin while it's still free: Benderconverter. Paste in the URL of the video page, decide what format you want, and it will convert it and tee it up for you to download. It even does caps at 2 or 5 frames/sec. This promo downloads as an AVI at just over 3 mb. Bonus: world's shortest man at Noodle RB (I thought he died recently ??? )
