I was having a text discussion on my MacBook Air in the messages app. It was the only app that was open. A half hour later I opened Facebook on Safari and the first ad I see is for the very product I was discussing in my text chat.
How is facebook reading my texts and sending ads? I thought Mac OS was supposed to me more secure that this!!
