Gmail Cracks Down on Third-Party Notifiers

crtfdgk writes "Recently, Google's gmail service has attempted to change login protocols to block third-party gmail notifiers that alert you to new email. Google has now taken it one step further and created a word-identification script filter as part of the login process. Personally, I find Google's gmail notifier annoying since it sits in my taskbar and doesn't have popup notification, unlike many other worthy Firefox or Mozilla plugins that feature gmail notification. Shouldn't I be free to use whatever third party software to check my email? Will we be seeing controls on browsers that can view gmail next?"

What? No it isn't.

Is this "news for nerds" or "gossip from idiots"? There's no word-identification for logins. And Gmail notifier is made by Google, it's not even third-party! Can you stop posting crap before you RTFA? Oh wait, there wasn't even an article this time. Sigh.
