Oh, I hate when website follow your approach.

To start, it doesn't work if you use VPNs. Second, it doesn't update when you travel.

Here's one example. Even though I'm logged into Google and used Google Maps' 'pinpoint my location' feature, Google Reader is currently emailing me my daily schedule (a feature I enabled recently) in the afternoon. That's also despite my appointments being annotated with timezone information.

I call this bad engineering.
