The browser is IE9, but the browser mode is IE8 (shown in the screenshot). If you change the browser mode back to IE9, which is the default, no Compatibility Mode is requested.

@Karan: what browser are you using? Normally you would see that message if you decline the browser's request to access your location.

@Franklin: What do you mean? As you can see in the screenshot at the bottom of this article (taken with IE9), the page explicitly require IE=EmulateIE7.

The comment regarding Google Maps using Compatibility Mode is NOT fully the truth. Please note that your browser mode is IE8, not IE9. Google Maps asks for Compatibility Mode ONLY when browser mode is < IE9. In other words, Compatibility Mode is NOT requested when IE9 mode is used.

I get the following message when I click on the viewfinder "We are unable to get your location at this time. Permission was denied."

How do I fix this?

I appreciate the ability to turn on Tracking protaction and having it stay on.

Per site, ActiveX filtering is amazing.

Don't forget the updated prototypes at HTML5Labs that are snapping to the latest releases of WebSockets-04 and IndexedDB as the specs are being updated.

re: Tip: How to encode a video to H.264 (MP4) or VP8 (Webm)

It would be really cool if MS supported first party converters. I emailed the Windows Live Movie Maker team about adding a "save for web" option that encodes in H.264.
