reCAPTCHA

You know those tests they have to fill in the time of signing for Web services again? Those who ask you to enter the text you see in the box to prove you're a human being? The so-called CAPTCHA. And a company called reCAPTCHA does something really interesting with them.
 
 It is difficult to read text scanned from old newspapers and books. Because the ink and paper is not in such good shape spambots have difficulty reading the words, but people usually have too much trouble. And when you enter a keyword in the box, which will help the reCAPTCHA software to improve reading these ancient texts.
 
 Now if Your'e starting to understand why a company like Google that has been the digitization of old books and violently in recent years might be interested reCAPTCHA, you're not alone. Google announced today that its acquisition of the company. Websites using reCAPTCHA to protect themselves and protect their users against spam and fraud are still able to use the service, because honestly, reCAPTCHA not be as useful to Google if the company will cut off the service.
 
 The site lets you subscribe to the videos, create playlists, and has a good set of options for each video. For example, say you're watching one of the last episodes of the association and decide you want to subscribe to the series. You can add all the episodes of his list, only new episodes, or just last season. Then, when you click the link to your playlist, you can see a list of episodes you've seen or viewed. There is a season of "Pass" section that lets you see the programs I have purchased, though I imagine TiVo will not be happy with the co-expression Clicker opting for a subscription series.
