Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
All the identity theft threads are making me a bit paranoid but they really are watching you. Today the lower washer arm on my dishwasher broke off so I started Googling (on Chrome) to get a replacement part. The first query was something that included Whirlpool Gold Series Dishwasher replacement parts or something similar. Eventually I got to sites where I could enter my model number, order the part, view Youtube R&R videos. Got my part ordered and I am good to go.
An hour later I am skimming through my four email accounts and in Outlook Mail I see a tailored ad for a Whirlpool Gold Series dishwasher. So it appears that somehow MS got my Google via Chrome search data or picked up cookie info from some of the sites I visited through some sort of data broker service. One way or another they knew it was me.
Wait a second, is that a black helicopter outside?
