reCAPTCHA

Definition:

reCAPTCHA is a variation on CAPTCHA in that rather than displaying random letters and numbers, reCAPTCHA actually displays real words from old texts that have been digitally scanned. The words displayed were not understood by the computers that scanned them. Thus, not only are you preventing spam by entering the reCAPTCHA words, you are actually helping to decipher the words and bringing the old texts into the digital world.

Here's a word you may not know...

EDGE

EDGE stands for Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution and represents a network standard for mobile phone communication. EDGE is used to transmit data services such as Internet and video messaging from mobile phones. Many consider the EDGE network a second generation, or 2G, network making it inferior to the newer and faster 3G networks.
