Curious about which country OP is in and which payment method was used.

I'm in Australia, and find when I pay by credit card, this same thing happens to me where I get ads for medicines related to precription medicine I've just purchased.

When I use cash however, I don't get the ads, so my best bet is that it's the credit card that's used to match the purchase to me in this scenario.

I think the price is pretty reasonable but the hidden cost of owning this phone is that you'd be handing Google more data about yourself they could ever collect by other means.

I find it incredible that Abbott being openly vulnerable about his lack of competency with computers, has been more effective in making me like him than anything he has ever done in his political career.

Teams of media advisors and a very favorable alliance with the Murdock press have paled in comparison to this one blog post that didn't even have that as an aim.
