The original fix for which this mock location logic was written fixes a bug in master which also exists in 1.2.x. Cherry-picking the fix to the 1.2.x branch was difficult because the mock location object used ES5 get/set syntax, which is not supported in IE8. This fix changes the implementation to work with IE8 and modern browsers. IE8's defineProperty only works on certain types of objects, such as DOM elements. So the mock location is a div element in this implementation.
AngularJS 
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding. To help you structure your application better and make it easy to test, AngularJS teaches the browser how to do dependency injection and inversion of control.
Oh yeah and it helps with server-side communication, taming async callbacks with promises and deferreds. It also makes client-side navigation and deeplinking with hashbang urls or HTML5 pushState a piece of cake. The best of all: it makes development fun!
