    You think Bush would start a union? Bah...

    I'm using Cingulars EDGE as I type. I've never seen 144. I get 115.2, and it's not the actual speed either. On a good day, I might see a 20k download speed. Games still suck, dead before I can respond, even WOW is unplayable.

    I went and visited foreign based Islamic web sites for products, and Amazon recommended Islamic books and films after. I'm not seeing it as likely Amazon has partnerships with these companies....

    I know there's nothing anti-semitic about my Nic, I'm Jewish!

    It's still creepy. I also searched for more obscure items at other sites, not "ATDMT.com" members, I searched for stuff like Jihad videos, and when I returned to amazon I got recos for books and films on Islam....

    I did similar tests searching for obscure items and found the same results.

    Couple things I noticed. Look under "my recommendations", and you'll find a more complete list of your browsing experience. I also did a further more obscure test. I went online browsing for Jihad videos, and lo and behold when I returned to my recos a bit later I was offered books and films on Islam.

    I wasn't going to Amazon to shop, but to look up some info on a book. I've never bought any bluetooth from Amazon. I also did a more thourough test. I went browsing round and about online for Jihad videos for a while. Then when I return to Amazon and check my recommendations, lo and behold this time I was offered books and films about Islam... This is not just about "Amazon" setting cookies, duh I knew that. This is about the potential amazon is searching through other cookies on my machine for keywords to target ads.

    I actually did a more thourough test. I did not just "browse" major online retailers. I went shopping online for Jihad videos (just to see), lo and behold when I return to Amazon I am offered books and films about Islam. I may also be getting a visit from the secret police soon, but hey...

    No, I don't have either, and wouldn't. It's not that Amazon set a cookie, it's that they obviously are browsing through other cookies, propably looking for keywords to target ads.
