What can you learn by resolving every single dns query from someone using an internet connected machine?

Quite a bit.

Imagine the scary amount of information Google knows about people who use their service. Especially combined with the fact that almost every site out there now uses Google Analytics and/or Google Advertisements.

I realize it sounds very tin foil but intercepting all DNS queries can give you a pretty good fingerprint of a user.

There's been a lot of hype around Sweden going almost cashless, but most transactions there use easily traceable credit and debit cards. Bitcoin offers anonymity, but isn't backed by any government and has seen high-profile hacks and collapses in value. Could an experiment brewing in Canada finally take us to cashless nirvana?"
