It's also a testament to the limited value of physically locating people 
by internet addresses - If you zoom in on the San Fransico bay area, and 
click on the southern most bubble (south of San Jose), you'll see the 
entry for the Mountain View postal code (94043) - a massive list which 
contains mostly gmail.com accounts, but also contains accounts with .de 
.ca .uk .pl .it .tw and .za domains. I doubt all of the people in that 
list live in sunny California, let alone in Mountain View proper.
