So what's the deal with this? On a page that's completely different than the page with the discussion about Paul Oakenfold, there are ads relating to him. I checked the current page and there is nothing at all relating to Paul Oakenfold.
Does Adsense use cookies or something to remember what you've been seeing on the web, so it can target ads to you?

The answer to that is "yes", one heck of a lot of cookies. Google for "Google cookie" to fill yourself in on the original, expires in 2038 cookie.
On top of that use a cookie detector to see what G puts on you when you click on AdSense ads, or visit your AdSense account
On top of that there is the question of info via the toolbar, web accelerator and Gmail
They know more about you than your mother,father, bank manager, government, family, probably know more about you than you can remember about yourself.
I would suspect that this example of yours may be something to do with pre-fetch (depends on what Google ware you are running), but that's just a guess.
Anyone with similar experiences? As far as I am aware Google claim not to use "data mining" of what you are doing on the web - in the way that Amazon do in order to second guess what you want.
P.S. Why were you discussing Paul Oakenfold in a forum?
Is it possible that the place you were discussing Paul Oakenfold at had his name in the URL? If so, maybe it looked at the referrer?
Yeah, I double checked that also. It wasn't from that. I think Cornwall's response sounds like it's probably the reason.
P.S. Why were you discussing Paul Oakenfold in a forum?
Someone was asking about the Coca-Cola commercial, the one that plays Starry Eyed Suprise by Oakenfold.
"Oh my, starry eyed suprise, sundown to sunrise, we're gonna dance, dance all night, dance all night to this DJ."
