I'm reading Dive into HTML5 http://diveintohtml5.org/

There's a chapter on HTML5 features including Geolocation. 
Clicking through the test link Firefox pops up a warning "website wants 
Geolocation.  Tell them?" kinda thing.

I click yes and a Google map showing my exact location pops up.
Repeat with Chrome, same results including getting my permission first.
Konqueror doesn't support the feature.

This raises two questions: 
How?  I'm doing my web browing through my laptop -> home WiFi -> DSL linkage.
Why do large commercial sites (eg, Facebook) keep making me offers for Seattle 
based services?

sitting inside looking at the rain through a window.
