Googles response to this story:

Google counters that Wilkins test targeted an old form of reCAPTCHA from 2008 that’s been changed. “[T]his study does not reflect the effectiveness of reCAPTCHA’s current technology against machine solvers,” a Google spokesperson told The Register. “We’ve found reCAPTCHA to be far more resilient while also striking a good balance with human usability, and we’ve received very positive feedback from customers.”
