Just logged on a random computer that knew my ebay browsing history from yesterday....before I logged in. I have never even used ebay on this computer, or any other computer on it's network, yet it still had my complete Jaguar browsing history from yesterdayas well as my OWN auctions, in the recebtly viewed section. Talk about paranoia.

Did you sign into GMail before going onto eBay?

I did not, but that definitely would have explained it. Infact I didn't sign into anything beforehand, just hopped on before class to check my auctions >_<
Also it was on Safari, yet I use Firefox at home.

Yeah Google (aka SkyNet) is watching and tracking your movements buddy, your paranoia is justified. Go to a cooking class ASAP and get some tinfoil, then make it into a conical shape large enough to fit a large melon into the open end. Once that is complete place the aluminum structure upon the tallest point of your body and tell everyone you meet to watch out as an unknown internet being is watching your eBay auctions.
I kid I kid, I dunno what could have caused it if you didn't sign into anything before hand, unless your school requires you to sign on and their IT department logs your browsing history according to your student ID and it loads every time you sign on to a computer no matter what department or LAN system you sign on to.

I was thinking it could be from logging into the universities network, and wen I do it it logs me into their gmail servers, and if I was logged into my gmail when I browsed that would make sense, and I was relieved.
THEN I realized this was 1 of the 2 places on campus that you DON'T log into the computers before use (Due to software restrictions that these iMacs are used for). Damnit
