Google have announced they have purchased reCAPTCHA, a tool used to prevent bots from auto registering, posting spam, etc. Official google announcement can be found at: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/teaching-computers-to-read-google.html
More info here http://www.searchenginejournal.com/...ook-scanning-project-and-fighting-spam/13308/ does this mean google will be reading our pictures soon?
Get ready for all google captchas to be converted into ReCaptcha captchas .... anyone know the price they bought it for ?
The purchase date Sept. 16, 2009 with undisclosed amount.. according to Wiki list of Google's acquired sites/services.
wondering why they bought it when it was open source to use they could just use it ... oh well its google probably they like to use thier own stuff only
CAPTCHA is very annoying for the people i find myself starring long minutes and try to interpret those weird signs.
