Yesterday, I was reviewing technical specs for a Viking Electronics product on their web site. They referenced a part from Radio Shack, so I Googled it to get those details. Ever since then, I am being absolutely flooded with Radio Shack ads at nearly every web site I visit. I use Firefox as my browser and rarely use Google at all, but it seems as if I'm now doomed to Radio Shack ads. Am I stuck or is there something that I can do?

Yep, that was the first thing that I thought. I just hadn't ever paid it any attention before now.

from your link : Google goes through every Gmail that's sent or received, looking for keywords so they can target Gmail users with paid ads.
