I think the author just meant to explain the nifty javascript trick and as a warning to developers who might consider data transfered by a javascript include to be safe. At least I hope he (Rob) is not actually using this method on a real site. edit: confirming my suspicions, this just popped up on the site: "This is a security example, guys. At least I hope nobody’s using this in the real world."

Someone didn't read the about page. Michelle's a she. Apart from that, while there are much better options available now, for a period the adult companies were sinking huge portions of their budgets into keeping that geolocation cutting edge. Getting as close as possible to a person's actual location is going to make ads like these much more convincing after all.

  > Someone didn't read the about page. Michelle's a she. Thanks for pointing that out. I ignorantly assumed the author was male. I edited my post. > Apart from that, while there are much better options available now... interesting, I didn't realize that. I guess it's another example of adult entertainment pushing technology forward.
