Guys,
Just block the traffic altogether. You should be doing that anyway.
Its just good security practice.
On your ubuntu, linux, solaris server or whatever just blackhole all the
traffic.
Example:
In Ubuntu just type the command:
sudo ip route add blackhole 91.0.0.0/8
You can verify this w

This bug appears to actually be several issues that are only
thematically related. I'm moving the indicator-datetime geoclue/geoip
issue to bug #1074999 where it can be handled separately from these
other issues. For this reason, I'm marking indicator-datetime's

Well, I think these connections should not stay up all the time and
should be called just, when needed. For example when i search for
something, when update manager is called and so on. Same thing is that
gnome gvfs, which has really odd behavior.

I keep hearing all these "Windows haters" rant about how application-

Well, I also think this is a valid bug. These connections seems to be on
all time, regardless of the fact that I *do not* change my timezone
several times in an hour and also I do not search for videos all the
time on the machine.
I just blocked the ip's on the firewall to fix this. I also uninsta
One is the geoip server query to properly set your timezone, the other
