Interesting Website - sidestep.com

Hi Folks,

 

This is interesting. One of out sons works in IT also, here in Indianapolis.
He told me yesterday that he was searching for plane tickets to Atlanta for
this Thanksgiving (family road trip) and was on the sidestep website. He got
the price and closed the browser. Then he wanted to check it again and fired
it back up and the ticket was $40.00 more ! This was within seconds. Then he
tried to go to other travel websites and it be wouldn't work. He gave up but
mentioned it to some of his coworkers and they said "Oh ya, run Adaware and
deleted the cookies and try" and he did and it worked.

 

Any one else seen this behavior ? I tried it and couldn't replicate it but I
am locked down very tight. The guys he worked with we very aware of it.
