How do these things work on the internet?
I've been on the net for a long time, but here's a couple of things I don't understand.
#1: I get my internet through the community HOA with cable and could have phone if I trusted the service. When I type something in as a URL that's no good I used to get an error from the browser that it couldn't find a site. Now I get a search page from the service provider suggesting alternatives to whatever I typed in.
#2: When i used my Droid at home hooked to the wifi, the map in the background knows exactly where I am. Is my wifi box broadcasting the location? How does this work?
