Ok I use the Internet to find stuff out as I watch the TV.

But the prediction always seems so spot on.

Eg, some program about the queen and when I search for

"how old in the "

It suggests "queen"

Watching Tine to kill I type in

"Sandra " and it suggests bullock as the second option.

Curious now I type in Matthew and it give me

 Maconohey (f### the spelling)

Has anyone noticed the very topical, laser guided suggest?

>laser guided

Yeah, I've noticed it.  In fact, it sort of surprised me once last week while I was searching for some software.  I'm thinking that the perma-cookies are still being used even though I have supposedly opted-out.  The reason I think so is that some of the recent ads have been a little too targeted.

it is very good, and one of the most useful keyword research tools IMO.

particularly fond of this suggestion
