Big Brother

Last week, I was looking for some replacement pucks for my Rebound game. It’s missing two of each color.
Today, I was looking up lyrics to “Like A Hurricane” by Niel Young. The website I landed on had this advertisement on it:

Ok, kind of freaky. But I figure that a cookie was set on my computer that stored what product I was searching for and this advertisement accessed that cookie to determine what to display. Understandable, but still a little unsettling.
It just so happened that my mp3 player was on shuffle and it was playing “New American Century” by KMFDM. By pure coincidence the next line I heard was “Your every move is logged and tracked.“
