...Someting else that bugs me...

How the fuck does facebook know so much about us?! I understand things like dating site ads, since my profile states that I'm single. I kinda get the part about "Are you vet who needs a job?!" since I have the Air Force in my employment history, or "Milwaukee coupons"...but its the other things, things like:

"COME MAKE THE NEXT FINAL FANTASY!" -my roommates don't get these, and I'm the only one of them who plays the damn games.

How does it know that I play the stupid thing, but the most creepy one that pops up is:

"Subaru insurance!

STI owners can insure their car for as low as $37.60/month!"

How in the blue fuck do they know what kind of car I drive?! That's not on my profile anywhere, there's a picture or two of it on my profile, but do they go profile to profile digging through pictures of cars seeing who drives Subie and who doesn't and then applying the ad? I don't believe that for an instant. But it's really really weird, makes you think about how little privacy you have in the end.
