Come on, just create a gmail account, register a new Amazon account and purchase books with gift cards purchased for cash at the nearest drugstore or 7/11.

You mean, so Google can track all your purchases through Google Analytics DoubleClick and link it to your IP address?

Also, the "nearest drugstore" thing. So Amazon can track your general location via the card number? Or do they just track you via your IP address when you access their storefront, and link it to your main Amazon account?

If anyone reading this page wants to learn more about what type of information companies collect and sell about you ("over 1500 points of data on over 200 million Americans"), this 60 minutes segment is a good source of information: http://youtu.be/qAT_ina93NY
