First of all sorry for asking this question on SO as this does not fit the criteria for asking questions on SO. But I still ask here as I really have no idea of a better place to ask.
So, here is the question:
I recently visited an online shopping site where I browsed 6 different products of same category(jewellery). I selected the products, came to payment page, but stopped there itself. I didn't go any further and the closed the tab in which that site was opened, and then closed the browser full.
I reopened the browser the next day, visited some completely unrelated site(an android forum), but, to my shock, the same 6 products that I has browsed the previous day were showing right in the center of the page AdWords box.
I couldnt understand how is that possible since both the sites are on different domains.
Can anyone please explain or point to some suitable reference...
Thnx in advance...

Yes it is cookies which do this.

Hello and sorry for my bad english...
Suppose I have a div with a outside script source inside it.
And in the script I print some text/links into this div.
The question is if Google can see and understand this text/links which come from a script and not a normal HTML.
Googlebot does handle some Javascript. It's possible: http://mobile.twitter.com/mattcutts/status/131425949597179904
Initially I would have said "no" but according to this article it looks like they now do!
 ...it appears Google's bots have been trained to act more like humans to mine interactive site content, running the JavaScript on pages they crawl to see what gets coughed up.
Can't find anything official from Google however

Referring to the link
http://www.catonmat.net/blog/learning-javascript-programming-language-through-video-lectures/
Is there anyone who keeps a copy of the video from last time, or know any mirror that have the video?
Its a shame that Yahoo! doesn't seem to host the video anymore, considering the good content as was mentioned in the link I gave.

Walkerneo is right. Everything is on Youtube now.

First, how is the stream edited on the fly? For every website I visit, there is a black bar telling me how much WiFi time I have left.
Second, how do I get rid of it?
Rather confused...
The websites are being processed by a transparent proxy. As for how to get rid of it... pay for internet or write you own proxy that can remove the frame added by the provider.

I have a knowledge base system, but the users feedback that it is quite hard to search for the information. So I am thinking about the decision tree. If the user can find the info by clicking few options, that will be great.
I saw some websites have this feature. (e.g. I encountered an issue, I choose Windows7 -> login issue -> wrong password, then the system will provide the solution)
I want to implement such system, but unfortunately I didn't find any.
Any smart ideas? Thanks!

I was a big fan of an app called "GremCheck" that was out a while back, that seems to have disappeared.
It was a JavaScript included in a master page that placed an icon at the bottom of the page. It was used during testing. You could define your own tests, and the box could pop up per page and viewers would answer the questions you define (such as "Does this page have the correct title?", "Is the Grammar Correct", "Does the design look consistent").
This was useful for end-user tests groups and quick testing for developers if time was squeezed on full functional testing.
Anyone know where GremCheck went, if I can get to it, and if there's anything out there that does something similar?
