As if Google doesn't already know everything you do on the Internet. Apparently they are offering people $5 and up to $25 if they install software that allows Google to track everything they do on the web. They'll pay $5 for every 3 months with a maximum of $25.

On one hand I use Google search, Android, and other services a lot, and they have a pretty good idea already what I'm doing. On the other hand only $5 per quarter for all my web surfing habits (and gods know what else that tracking software is picking up).

ROFLMAO, no thanks Google.

They'll pay more if you use their router - I think its like $20/mo.

But yes, I think I'll pass.
