Google's Vulnerability Program

Found this on Engadget this evening and thought it was interesting. I'd like to know what kind of flaw you need to report that merits the particular sums of rewarded cash. $20 000 is a pretty large amount.

0day or may be buffer overflow. 20,000 $ is quite tempting

Pretty sweet, would be nice to just work on your own and make money off of bounties from companies like Google... Probably couldn't rely on that as a source of income though.

The person who wrote the article obviously doesn't work with computers. They didn't understand why the initial payment was $3,133.7. It's not a weird about you fools, it's an elite amount.
