You guys are so clueless. This has NOTHING to do with improving OCR. This is all about putting Google's javascript on every account creation page on the web, so Google knows who everyone is, all the time.

yes, I also feel Google has much power on web. but the way Google is going, I am feeling that Google should continue to grow. Recent announcement that Google is trying to liberate users data so that user can carry their data wherever they want and however they want.

ReCaptcha is a troy horse. Yes indeed it can help to improve bad digitization… but a lot better than that it is a way for Google to know what has been freshly commented on the Web. It helps Google to come back in the run for fresh information won by twitter so far.

Each time someone comments on a blog, ReCaptcha is like a ping for GoogleBot. A human just commented on this blog. Come here to index.

reCAPTCHA will be A LOT better than the captcha's Google currently uses. They're unreadable.

But the words are written so cursively... I just cannot catch the right words from time to time.... Probably they are just not charles-readable words... :( haha

You are referring to me or Jon to be right?

Actually, this is probably a good thing considering how horrible Gmail's (still current) CAPTCHA's are.

augh. Yeah, I did, but Internet blindness caused me to miss the last two paragraphs. Sorry... (And I thought I was being all clever.)

You're worried about Google & not Microsoft (who ownes more than 90% of the desktop market) ? According to your logic, the clothes you wear comes with a recording device recording all you moves, the car you drive, the government is watching your every move & such ?

Listen idiot, think with a fresh mind (Note : Only think if you at-least have a peanut sized brain) before you blabber crap here.

Jesus H Christ, Mashable, your readers/commenters really are the pits. Epic stupidity, awful grammar, and not much else to add to the global conversation! Actually, fuck that - they'd be out of their depth in the local swimming pool, let alone anything global ... ;-)

Thanks for adding *so* much to the discussion, Amooolyyya. Really. Your insights are ... unforgettable.

You have a serious problem. Really. Seek medical attention.

Also, GTFO my internet.

Jon — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:00:20 -0000

Probably. It's kinda-like you don't understand the difference between different types of captcha, retard-boy ...

Its gotta be better than Google's horrible attempt at captcha. I dread those things from google. They are almost impossible to read.

The leveraging is that they get improved books service. Not everything at Google is about money. (especially the free stuff)
