My computer gave away my secretsA good friend recently found out his girlfriend was pregnant when google autocomplete came up with 'symptoms of pregnancy'...
Has your googling been your undoing? Has someone found your gay porn stash? Have you had a Gary Glitter moment in PC World? Tell us how your computer has ratted on you.

I used to admin the networkwhere I used to work. I was kind of figuring it out as I went along, frequently posting on newsgroups about specific problems...
I got an email saying "regarding your newsgroup posting, go to this website", and like a total numpty did. I then had to explain to the girl who sat behind me why on earth I was looking at nekkid ladies in full view of everyone....D'oh!
Also, there was this guy who always stayed in the office while everyone was out. Our server kept a record of every site anyone had been on, and I noticed quite a lot of porn stuff coming up.
I removed the records from the server and told Tim (for as is traditional, that was his name) that he'd better clear out his cache and be a bit more careful, as ths boss wouldn't be so understanding if he saw it...
Of course he didn"t and Becky, a colleague had to use his computer, and discovered via autocomplete, what a merv he was.
She discovered it very loudly, and vociferously, as only girls called Becky can.
What japes, eh?
