Spot a Bug in Google?
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2372003,00.asp
Google offers money to people who report bugs in their Chromium project (which bears the popular Chrome browser as fruit). and others such as: YouTube, Blogger, Orkut apart from Google.com. Android, Picasa or Google Desktop don't fall under it yet, but Google said they might expand it to these too in the future. So how much do you get? It depends upon the intensity of the bug found - it could be anywhere between $500 to $3100.
