Google acquires SlickLogin: dogs go wild!
SlickLogin, an Israeli start-up, is behind the technology that allows websites to verify a user's identity by using sound waves. It works by playing a uniquely generated, nearly-silent sound through your computer speakers, which is picked up by an app on your smartphone. The app analyses the sound and sends a signal back to confirm your identity.
The firm confirmed the acquisition on its website but did not provide any financial details of the deal.
Too bad they don't still put whistles inside packages of Cap'n Crunch cereal!
