Is google tailoring it's results for you specific computer? I've been doing searches from two computers and on my personal computer I get results for sites that I've been frequently viewing. The other computer is giving different keyword results.

Google assigns you an ID based on a cookie, and collects information on your usage of web search and other services, tied into that ID. This is most noticeable if you're signed into a Google account. As a general rule, this type of undertaking is classified as "personalised search" about which you'll find much discussion at WebmasterWorld. Certainly, it's wise to anticipate different results based on past searching behaviour.

Most search engines seem to see this as a key part of their future, although as an old-school searcher I'd rather they stopped second guessing what I'm looking for ;)
