Do nosy people make you crazy? Eavesdroppers? People at the airport looking at your computer screen? So do I. But its not just annoying. People reading over your shoulder can be a security-risk, too. From passwords to bank information, snoops can view your data. For your personal account, who cares? So you have a tech shopping addiction.

But did you ever think about how Google ads are so effective? The more you use them, the more they can read over. your. shoulder. Emails, Google+, web searches. It's all being read by Google.
