Scary Or What?

I have just logged on to Google search. I noticed that the logo was different. When I hovered over it it said, "Happy Birthday". It is my birthday today, How does Google know that? Has anyone else got the same? I find it rather unnerving, as though I'm being spied on.

Not really scary.

If you registered for gmail then you would (probably) have put your date of birth.

If you are in your browser AND logged on to gmail on the same computer then it connects them that way.

Happy Birthday Jack.

Do you have a Google account?

I have a google account and gave a false birth date. It is one of the security questions if you are locked out of your account. I got a happy birthday on my false birthday.

I have a totally false identity for date of birth, mother's maiden name and school.
