The Cone of Silence is one of many recurring joke devices from Get Smart, an American comedy television series of the 1960s. In the series, whenever Maxwell Smart ("Agent 86") wanted to speak to his boss ("Chief") about a sensitive matter, he would insist on the use of a technology called "the Cone of Silence". The Chief, usually with annoyed skepticism, would press a switch, causing the device to descend from above the Chief's desk, surrounding the heads of the two would-be conversers. The device was clear plastic in the shape of two interconnected inverted bowls. Part of the humor was in the irony that Agent 86 and Chief could never hear each other clearly, while bystanders in the room could hear everything they said. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cone of Silence"

In computing, geolocation software is used to deduce the geographic location of the other party in a message exchange, for example on the Internet. Geolocation software is used for example to limit distribution of certain information to people from certain areas. A simple approach to geolocation is looking at the IP address and determining what country, organisation, or user it has been assigned to, and guess the user's location based on that.
