Hell I do nothing private enough on my phone to not want someone tracking it, if I can be rewarded for just using my phone, bring it on. And before I get flammed, I have specified that I, being me personally, dont mind, if you dont like it, dont jump on board.

Good way to look at it. A *lot* of people are OK with just about any reasonable level of data mining/surveillance. As long as there is an option to opt out, we're pretty much all good

Exactly, and this goes the extra step of being opt in to begin with, so regular peeps have little to worry about.

"Up to 50 dollars per YEAR"

Gonna take you a long time to buy anything with that type of income...

32" HDTV 60000 points = 5 years worth of tracking!!!

$50 worth of "points" which likely over price the items they sell by quite a bit. So, after factoring in inflation amounts, it's probably more like $20-$25.

There are a lot of nerdy political science and social science questions to be had here. It would be interesting to see how many people sign up for this. Or, if the government offered you a tax credit for it, would you let the NSA monitor your phone, tablet, computer?

They want to see my pr0n sites (tomshardware, engadget, theverge, .....hub and etc.) Come on!

They should offer 10% of the Adwords click through fee. I can guarantee my ad clicking would increase 1000 fold. Googles profits would skyrocket.
