Scary Google ads
 
I was recently on my cellphone talking to a truck driver. He is delivering some equipment but will be delayed because of transmission issues.

I am now getting pop up Truck Transmission repair ads.

I was looking into a smartphone which is not Apple or Android.
(If anyone is going to get wealthy off my personal information, it should be me..)

android was born out of linux, iirc.

Windoez fone. There are some good Nokia's on fleabay, or the last big win-splash, the HP X3 Elite (2560x1440 Amoled screen, awesome battery life...)
