Google nabs patent to monitor your cursor movement

bool2 writes: "Google has been awarded a patent for displaying search results based on how you move your mouse cursor on the screen.... Google's plans are to monitor the movements of the cursor, such as when a user hovers over a certain ad or link to read a tooltip, and then provide relevant search results, and ads, based on that behaviour. It means that it does not require users to actually click a link to know that they were interested in it, opening a world of opportunity for even more focused ads."
