Ever been caught out by auto complete or browser history?

B3ta.com has some "interesting" tales here about secrets revealed by internet browsers... anyone else feel like comming clean?
I'm looking for some examples for a project i'm working on ... PM if you are curious.
Me, this week I had to ask Mrs. M if there was anything I needed to know when I typed B in the google search box and Baby names came up on auto-complete.




Mods, if this should be in jet blast, appologies!

Windows is absolutely packed with stuff like this.

You need something like CCLEANER - a freebie that clears out most of these "little leftovers".

Ha...never mind your internet history getting clocked, I got caught whilst actually taking Captain Picard to warp speed by a girl I was seeing at the time! Most embarrasing!

That's a euphemism I haven't heard before.

I must be getting old...
