So are the new captchas

The captchas, as we know, are used to determine if a user is human or if it is a bot. To pass this "test" must be entered correctly in a code that is displayed, but the same is shown a bit altered so that only people can identify characters.
Many times, some captchas are more complicated than they should to the extent that seem to have been created by a paranoid person. From now on, we meet a new type of captcha that makes us a moral question to see our human empathy. In the case of the image, for example, says Kosovo people are tortured in detention. The question is what makes us feel that or think about it, and we are given three options: excites us, annoys us or we feel great.
Of course, if you answer correctly, you are proving that you are morally right (at least in this case), but the idea behind the test is that, in fact, what the answer would be politically correct, because for most immoral for a person to be, surely everyone knows what the right answer.
This new type of captacha now available for free for use on web pages.

Hop, the suitcase that follows you automatically

 

Many times when we travel, we usually carry luggage too heavy and actually ended up working hard transporting them from one place to another. Well, that may soon fall behind, because now there is a new type of bag that communicates with our smartphone wirelessly and follows us wherever we go, all without laying a finger on. This short is called Hop.
Hop is designed to follow the user to maintain a constant distance, and if for some reason it away, it will issue an alert on our mobile.
The small built-Hop has three types of technology used to receive different, identify and triangular signals from the user's smartphone. A microcontroller calculates the relative position between the suitcase and mobile, and then the bag is moved using compressed air.
If we judge by the size, we see that the capacity is a bit limited, but still continues to be very useful and can expect to get very good for the elderly and people who can not do a lot of strength. For now, the units are prototypes and have not yet gone on sale, and surely will not until at least next year.
