New google captcha?

Google is trying a new captcha sytem in which the user has to rotate the image so that it is oriented upright.

In case you didn't know, a captcha is any sort of system that is intended to keep bots (computers) from automatically signing up for things. The need for captcha systems increases as smarty-pants people like Chinese and Russians figure out ways to get through captchas like grungy looking letters and numbers.

The captcha seems pretty nice, as it would not require any text entry, and only requires one stroke of the mouse to complete. Criticism includes some people complaining about the fact that blind people won't be able to use the captcha. (lol).

I just had to say this - one particulary retarded commenter at the original article here said that the Federal government should ban private companies from using this type of captcha because it will limit the usability for the seeing-impaired. Where do these people come from..? Seriously?
