This seems like a good idea , assuming it is reliable. The introduction of voice verification was preceded by an extensive period of testing among more than 1,450 people and 25,000 test calls.

I live part time in San Francisco, California and part time in Ketchum, Idaho. It's a great place to live if you love the outdoors, as I do. Ketchum is in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho and has great hiking, flyfishing, kayaking, hunting (in season) and skiing (alpine and Nordic).

Great article on the Humboldt squid from Outside Magazine: I worry about these things because Cassell, 44, a world-class diver, underwater cameraman, and Special Operations vet from Escondido, California, is out to convince me -- live and up close -- that the undersea world's most intriguing predator is not one of the usual suspects (like the great white shark or killer whale) but a powerful, outsize squid that features eight snakelike arms lined with suckers full of nasty little teeth, a razor-sharp beak that can rapidly rip flesh into bite-size chunks, and an unrelenting hunger. It's called the Humboldt, or jumbo, squid, and it's not the sort of calamari you're used to forking off your dinner plate. This squid grows to seven feet or more and perhaps a couple hundred pounds. It has a rep as the outlaw biker of the marine world: intelligent and opportunistic, a stone-cold cannibal willing to attack divers with a seemingly deliberate hostility. What about the giant squid, you may ask? "Wimpy," says Cassell. The giant -- which grows to 60-plus feet and is one of only four squid, out of the 400 or so species found in the oceans, that are human-size or bigger -- is generally considered to be fairly placid. In any case, it's so elusive, no modern squid hunter has ever even seen one alive. No, if you want a scary squid, you want a Humboldt. And they're easy to find, teeming by the millions in Pacific waters from Chile to British Columbia. (It's named after the Humboldt Current, off South America's west coast.)
