Big brother watching? [View all]

I am using a desktop iMac. Spouse is using a MacBook and connects to the Internet through WiFi from Comcast.

I have seen it before and again this morning: On Facebook I see an ad for an item which... spouse has been looking recently. No, not an ad at the margin but in the center "sponsored."
