I tried to search a great book in google. I got the result I wanted. I right clicked and copied the link.
here's what I copied:
instead of:
http://www.amazon.com/Working-Effectively-Legacy-Robert-Martin/dp/0131177052
The reason: I was signed into google to check mail, and when you sign in. google tracks what you search and record it, so they also turn all the links into useless garbage. I actually have to select the link text underneath the search result to get the real link, which sucks big time.
Google really can be annoying sometimes.
