Mozilla, the company behind the Firefox browser, has released technology that helps websites detect the physical location of computers.

The system will allow users, for instance, to find local restaurants when they travel to a new town.

The Geode project is an experimental add-on ahead of a full blown launch of geolocation technology in version 3.1 of Firefox.

Users will have control over how much location information they give.

It uses technology from a firm called Skyhook which works out a computer’s location from nearby wireless networks.

Its so-called Loki system can determine location within seconds with an accuracy of about 10 to 20 metres.

I added email address (myclientname@googlemail.com) in my Google Analytics account. After some time, I received an email from my client that they can’t see data in Google Analytics. I had the full access for my client email and I logged on Google Analytics and I was unable to see profile in dropdown menu. It was strange and I start looking into this.

To further investigate this I added my Gmail address (myemail@gmail.com) in Google Analytics profile and everything was working fine. I need to fix this problem and after spending an hour on different options, finally I got the solution.

When I login Google Analytics as myclientname@googlemail.com, Google Analytics consider that as myclientname@gmail.com. So, I give access to myclientname@gmail.com and I was able to see data in Google Analytics.
