Google Gears and Location Privacy? Not Yet.
This from C|net’s coverage of Google I/O - the company’s developer event - specifically demos from Chris Prince, a lead Gears engineer. Recall that Gears is technology that allows Web apps to work, even when not connected to the Internet.
Gears still needs to handle privacy, though, when it comes to sharing location information with Web sites, he added. “There has to be permission for using location data. We haven’t figured out the best model yet,” Prince said.
Two words: Fire Eagle.
