Grammar
In/on
My teacher told me ON must, and only ON, be used for computer things, like WEBSITE and COMPUTER, but I heard my friend say:
-He placed an advertisement in the website.
-You should play the soundtrack in the computer.
Do these sentences mean the language has changed?
Thank you.

No, 'on' is the natural thing to say. Is your friend a native speaker?

Thank you, Clive.
But my teacher told me clearly
-New information is matched against existing data in the computer.
is good and correct English. Do you think he is wrong or the sentence he gave us is exceptional?

Q:Are you telling us that your teacher has told you both of the above statements?
A: Yes. But they are two teachers. I had two English teachers in high school, because one of them left, so he was replaced by another, who told us something different. Is it very uncommon in English speaking countries to have more than one English teacher?

Teachers come, and teachers go. It's normal.
Both in and on can be used, depending on the context. It's quite idiomatic.

OttoJIs IN used in collocation with LINK or WEBSITE?With 'website' evidently: Oxford is a reputable dictionary.
OttoJIf WEBSITE, what's the difference between IN and ON the website in this particular case?None whatsoever.
