Another excuse for Google to spy on us

I think it's just another way of Google to get your permission to store even more info on you. It already has access to your emails if you use Google mail and you documents if you use Google Docs. Now it wants permission to store all of your web usage even if it wasn't initiated with a Google search. What next - store you calender events they know where you are going - oh I forgot they already do.
