Captcha's Still Suck

I wrote long ago about how Captcha's are terrible for site usability, seems that one company wants to solve it by making them mini games.

I must applaud the effort to change how they work, and make them easier for users to pass while still hard for machines. Captcha's still suck though. I still stand behind what I said in my earlier post.

We should be using things like honey pot form elements and Akismet to deal with spam. As I said, spam is the web site owner's problem not the problem of the user. Stop pushing your problem on to someone else.
