That, and a lot of bots are created with point-and-click builders, such as ZennoPoster or uBot Studio; while training the bot to do a specific task, these negative captchas would be easily missed.

One of my AdSense accounts was just banned (testing cloaked traffic to made-for-adsense sites), so I beg to differ.

I really don't understand why this is a thing.. Lockitron seems like yet another product that builds on the current fad of "do everything with your phone" without regard to actually being innovative and useful. Aside from narrow use-cases,
