Much like killer Firefox extension/experiment Ubiquity is being partially integrated into Firefox's 3.5 release, the neat-looking Geode extension has been quietly included into the latest 3.5 beta 4 test releases as a new geolocation feature, as was anticipated. It's powered by Google's Wi-Fi-powered location service, and it's still supported by only a handful of services—but maybe more once it's also incorporated into Mozilla's Fennec mobile browser.
