What exactly make them think so? Of course it was aliens, KGB and Mossad, but 100% not Chrome which has built-in geo location detector, right?
It could have been the range... my IP range says i'm in Scottsdale Az, and even when I set myself to Tucson or linkup GEOIP, then turn it off... Google STILL thinks i'm in Scottsdale AZ, which I'm about 3 hours from.

Based on my IP "Range" the other IP's are from that area, not here... being that I'm the only business account on the entire switch in my neighborhood.

I would need to email Google and ask them to update it... OR more people on my range need to start coming in from this area.

It's all very logical... truly, Google is simply that bad ass and that damn good.
