[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last night while playing with Amazon TV for the first time I saw the movie The Final Countdown was listed; The movie came out when I was eight years old and one is one of the first movies I can remember seeing. I started it and about 30 minutes in there was a character named Senator Samuel Chapman. The movie has some historic references so I started typing into my iPhone SAMU and the auto fill came up with Senator Samuel Chapman, I follow the link and it explained how it was a poorly fictional character. This is a 35-year-old movie and there have to have been so many more modern instances of note starting with SAMU... The prime account is under my wife’s name, our router is acting funny so I was using cellular data on my phone; the microphone on my phone must be live every few minutes or so, that’s the only way I could possibly explain how a really vague start to a Google search could reveal such precise results to a 35-year-old movie reference. [/quote] This one is likely easier. If you ever use Google Maps or location services, Google already knows that is your home. It's got that linked as as a frequent location. Even if you were on cell and not WiFi, it's already got the location cached. And Google already knows that the Amazon TV is on your home account. So it tracked that activiti. The thing that most people don't realize or remember is that computers don't forget information unless they are told to forget information. Even if you haven't done something this session, the computer has a history. You've access the home WiFi on your phone in the past. It keeps that information on you. You were using an account linked to your home, that WiFi that you've used in the past. And you were physically there (which location services can tell it, even if you aren't on the WiFi at the moment). The Google database has all the information to track your watching of that movie.[/quote]
