Google really and truly needs to focus on working on the products and services they already have before spending money frivolously in trying to buy up everything. Another microsoft type corporation if the truth is to be told.
I am NOT a fan of reCAPTCHA and I encourage everyone to go read mashable’s article titled “Facebook Captcha: What You DON’T Need to Type” and start purposely screwing up the Captchas. Google wanting to digitize and own all books of the world is just NOT a good thing.
And also Captcha’s do NOT stop spammers in any way, shape or form, as spammers use program scripts to get around them and spam thousands of sites.
The picture shown is *NOT* a reCaptcha image at all.
Why is chattahbox always loaded with wrong/false info?

Captchas stop *HUGE* numbers of spammers.
reCaptcha is even better than that at stopping spammers.
Not sure where you heard it “doesn’t stop even 1 spammer”.
Google reCAPTCHA will help to keep away spam and other automated software from than 100,000 websites as those websites have now Google powered CAPTCHA technology.
