Wow that makes perfect since, and yet I still find somehow to completely disagree.

Comment HTML5 just works in chrome (Score 1) 170

Yeah so I've been playing with HTML5 lately, Chrome handles about everything I've thrown at it yet. When I take my site to firefox or IE9 it just falls apart, Somehow I don't consider this a problem. for me the big thing is being able to use the <input type="range"> tag. This is just so much easier then doing some sort of jquery it's not even funny.

Take a look at this:

There are several solutions available currently that offer 1" or better absolute accuracy off of GPS signals.

That doesn't help where you can't get GPS - which is what this thing is for in the first place! It's for indoors, undergound etc.

This solution instead requires accurate local time references

No it doesn't. If the article gave you that incorrect impression there is another on the website of Australia's ABC Science Show from a program several months ago.

This uses local transmitters at high power to allow them to operate in less advantageous terrain.

Such as underground where GPS signals do not go!

Because I get lost walking from oneside of the bomb shelter to the other all the time.
