The company famous for taking moon shots at the technology—Google, is yet again coming up with a device which seems to be straight from science fiction. Google's Motorola Mobility in a recent filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has come up with a "system and method" to tattoo a mobile-device microphone with lie-detector circuitry onto the users' throat..

The device comes with the dual functionality, one which cut downs the background noise and help to carry on a clear conversation in noisy environments just by plastering the device on your throat and the other— its use as lie detector. While its ability to catch voice directly from your throat makes a lot of sense but its ability to detect lie may tick off the users.

This new type of password, dubbed a GOTCHA (Generating panOptic Turing Tests to Tell Computers and Humans Apart), would be suitable for protecting high-value accounts, such as bank accounts, medical records and other sensitive information.

To create a GOTCHA, a user chooses a password and a computer then generates several random, multi-colored inkblots. The user describes each inkblot with a text phrase. These phrases are then stored in a random order along with the password. When the user returns to the site and signs in with the password, the inkblots are displayed again along with the list of descriptive phrases; the user then matches each phrase with the appropriate inkblot.

An "onion router" is an Internet application that takes requests for web-pages and passes them onto other onion routers, until one of them finally decides to fetch the page and pass it back through the layers of the onion until it reaches you. The traffic to the onion-routers is encrypted, which means that other people can't see what you're asking for, and the layers of the onion don't know who they're working for. Onion routing is immensely useful for protecting a users privacy and sending confidential information over the Internet without it being compromised.

TOR can also provide anonymity to websites and other servers. Servers configured to receive inbound connections through TOR are called hidden services.
