VentureBeat: Google Gears uses WiFi to geolocate your laptop

    Bah too much information. Can you image how useful this could be if your laptop was stolen? It would be so easy to track it down...

    Hey, you're right! Didn't think of that ... very cool.

    I loaded google gears and tried it. It is pretty cool - in a toy like fashion.

    Google gears for android and iphone will be cooler - it wants to be a mobile application. We were thinking that it would be a great tie in to zhiing. When a person gets a zhiing and is on their way somewhere, it would be great to see restaurants, gas stations, coffee shops, and other places that would make their trip convenient.

    I know that my wife would get more flowers if I could easily make a stop on the way.
