Yes it does. Mine's off by a few miles actually but damn close.
Similar to whatever Reno's been using in his sig here for years (in any of his posts) in the event that you hadn't noticed.
So, any way to block or scramble that so that it gets false info instead?

It doesnt seems very accurite to me. IE 8. Says my location is in Kansas. I'm in Indiana. The screen resolution is way off too.
In Chrome it has the resolution right but I'm still in Kansas, Dorothy.

What about using a program like 'Hide my IP' ? I tryed it once and it seemed to work but I'm not so bothered (yet) to actually use that on a regular basis.
