Animated ink-blot images keep bots at bay (New Scientist)

New Scientist: Captchas, the scrambled images used to separate humans from software bots online, could become harder for bots to solve – and easier for humans to handle – by animating them.

With some captcha systems close to being cracked, website owners are having to make them ever more fiendish to thwart bots. That comes at a cost, however: it makes them difficult for humans to read too.

Based on research at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

Cool technology, it's just so sad that things have to come to this... I think we should make the distribution of spam a capital offense.
