PCMag reports on December 3, 2014 that Google has eliminate CAPTCHA, replacing it with a simple yes/no check box to the question "Are You a Robot?" CAPTCHA is a "challenge response" test designed to detect spammers and other non-human computer automated (robotic) programs from clogging online ques. An example would be a robotic program trying to purchase concert tickets for a ticket scalper.
This solution seems so simple it poses the question "why did it take so long" to figure it out.
So are you Gort or Gnut? Yes ____ No _____
(Disclosure: The author has stock in Google, but did not use a robotic program to purchase it (although the author's broker certainly may have used a computer in the transaction).)
