1.1. Geographic Info

Via Neal Snider from Robert Munro:

If you place it in the design-view of your template, and it will use the IP address and browser settings of each Turker to populate fields with some useful demographics like 'City', 'Region', 'Country', and 'User Display Language'.

<p><input type="hidden" name="userDisplayLanguage" /> <input
type="hidden" name="browserInfo" /> <input type="hidden"
name="ipAddress" /> <input type="hidden" name="country" /> <input
type="hidden" name="city" /> <input type="hidden" name="region" /></p>

function getUserInfo() {
   var userDisplayLanguage = navigator.language ? navigator.language :

   var ipAddress = sGeobytesIpAddress;

   var city = sGeobytesCity;
