    New study suggests effort users put in cracking these puzzles every day may be more trouble than its worth

      So the only ones on the internet are bots and old people who can't crack captcha. That's a recipe for something... :shudder:

        Last week I spent over 20 minutes trying to recover my father's Steam account. Does the concept of bike include Vespas? Is the picture of the handlebar in the upper right also considered a bike picture? How about the crosswalk, does the red illuminated sign in the distance count or am I only looking for lines on the street? We abandoned Steam and bought the game via the Microsoft store - we were able to find the product, download it, and start playing in less time than I'd spent playing Captcha roulette. Captcha cost Steam a customer.
