Geode Plug-In Makes Firefox Location-Aware [Firefox]
Source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/415032908/geode-plug+in-makes-firefox-location+aware
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 browser location-aware so that somewhere down the line, you could visit a site like Yelp on your laptop in a strange town and it will automatically find your location and offer nearby restaurant suggestions and directions. Mozilla also offered other possible examples like: RSS readers that adjust based on whether or not your are at work or at home, location-restricted logins and websites that deliver news based on your physical location.
Obviously, 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 change the way you surf the web on your laptop—much like the iPhone has with handsets. In the meantime, a preview version is available to Firefox 3 users starting today—so you can kick the tires on it a bit before it is fully integrated into 3.1. [Mozilla Labs via Lifehacker]

Mazda Kiyora Recycles Rain Water for Drinking [Cars]
This is the new Mazda Kiyora, a concept car that is not only designed to consume less gas and produce less emissions, but to collect and purify the most important liquid on Earth: Water. You know, for drinking. If you are into that kind of liquid, anyway. When you drive the Mazda Kiyora through rain, its roof channels the falling water into a specially-designed Lifesaver purification bottle. The bottle, called Lifesaver Bottle Citi, is placed in the middle of the car’s interior, between the front seats, for easy access by all passengers.
Designed for Mazda by LIFESAVER® systems, the LIFESAVER® bottle citi™ is the world’s first ultra filtration water bottle to be installed in a car. It removes all waterborne pathogens and other pollutants creating safe sterile drinking water for the driver and passengers.
Taking advantage of rain as a natural resource, the roof of the Mazda Kiyora channels rainwater firstly through an activated carbon filter and then into a specially commissioned drinks bottle designed for Mazda by LIFESAVER® systems.
The LIFESAVER® bottle citi™ is located between the front seats for easy access, and uses state of the art ultra filtration hollow fibre membranes. With a pore size of 15 nano-meters these membranes remove all microbiological contamination including bacteria and viruses without using chemicals, delivering safe fresh drinking water to the driver and passengers any time. The bottle is removable so can be taken out of the car and used to gather water from other natural sources such as rivers, lakes and streams.
I wonder if car manufacturers couldn’t do the same with hydrogen cars, minus the special purification system, condensing the vapor coming out of the car exhaust into a bottle. Or if they want to really make it fancy, inc! lude a e spresso machine.
For a more detailed look at the Mazda Kiyora, check Jalopnik’s coverage from the Paris Motor Show. [Lifesaver via Inhabitat]
Best Buy Starts Listening to Consumers With HP and Toshiba "Blue Label" Laptops [Blue Label]
Today Best Buy launched “Blue Label”—a new line of electronic products developed directly from customer feedback. Shockingly, Best Buy discovered that consumers wanted laptops with “longer battery life, a thin and lightweight design, an illuminated keyboard, more optimal screen size and superior warranty support”—so they enlisted the help of HP and Toshiba to create an exclusive product that conformed to these specifications. HP delivered the Pavilion dv3510nr Notebook PC with a thickness of 1.41″, backlit keyboard, 4 hours of battery life and a 13.3” LED-backlit WXGA display. Toshiba’s Satellite E105-S1402 is also part of the lineup, which is interesting because there was no mention of Blue Label when it was first released. Both are priced at $1199.
Best Buy plans on expanding Blue Label to other product lines in the future, and they appear to be committed to using feedback to help customize these products to fit customer needs. That having been said, you can visit their community forums to get involved and share ideas for future products. In the meantime, both the HP and Toshiba laptops are now available for order in Best Buy stores and online. [Blue Label and BusinessWire]

How to Block Ads on Your (Jailbroken) iPhone [Iphone Adblock]
Source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/415172853/how-to-block-ads-on-your-jailbroken-iphone
It’s always a kick in the nuts waiting for a page to load in mobile Safari when you know like half of it is for an ad. Luckily, there’s a way to block most of them using this method from James Is Bored. It requires a jailbroken iPhone and bit of voodoo, but it’s not overly complicated. Once you’ve got a jailbroken iPhone, you need to install OpenSSH from Cydia. And that’s where the work starts.
After your phone restarts, head to Settings>Wi-Fi and hit the arrow next to your home Wi-Fi server. Write down the IP address you see. Then pop back to general settings and set auto-lock to never. On your computer, download this replacement hosts.php file.
Then, using an FTP client like FileZilla or Cyberduck with SFTP (secure SSH connection over FTP), open an SFTP connection with your iPhone’s IP address as the host. U/P is root and alpine. The connection will take a bit, and might fail a few times, but say yes to any prompts and keep trying.
At your iPhone’s root, navigate to the /etc folder and move the hosts.php file there somewhere on your computer for safe-keeping (don’t lose it!). Then replace it with the one you downloaded and restart your iPhone. Now you’ll start seeing glorious blank spots or compressed frames wherever ads used to be. It’ll nuke ads at most sites serving them through a third-party server. That wasn’t so bad was it? The method will work on iPod touches too. Let us know how it goes. [James Is Bored via Lifehacker]
