Google services going down?

In one day i got accused by google search and blogger of being a robot. Now i know i like technology but there aren't any computerized parts in my body, yet.

At work i was looking for code snippets and suddenly i got a page telling me my computer was infected and i had to fill in the captcha and then i could continue.

When i came home i wanted to write a poem on my other blog but it was flagged as a spam blog. I had to verify again that i was a human but to make it harder the captcha kept disappearing in firefox. I had to do the verification with internet explorer.

I read in the feeds people were having trouble with gmail as well. My gmail is a secondary email so i don't have a problem if it breaks down but people who depend on gmail as their master mail center must have had a hard time.

I think it's a conspiracy to promote the image captcha. People are coming up with other ways to protect their sites against bots and google can't have that. Then they can't do anything with the ocr software they bought or developed, i'm not sure. Tricks to outsmart the king of bots is a big no-no.

Anyway i'm declared human again by google search and blogger, sci-fi has become reality, now i can implant many rfid tags and a bioport for games.
