August 16, 2011 at 1:50 AMIn the US parents vary greatly on this, I think. Long before mobile phones, some families had a second telephone for the children. But most will probably show some interest. As the suspicious mother here, few parents would fall for the line "we were discussing a math problem" :)

June 21, 2011 at 2:00 AMI think it primarily affects the order of the search results, rather than the number of hits.
I remember once searching for Teavana (seller of tea in the US), and for several days their ads kept appearing in various web pages that I was viewing (that related to genealogy). I found it a little spooky, or at least annoying.

落在了出租车上
花在了旅行上
放在了书架上
