Gmail Helps Stop Your Drunken E-mail Rants
Found on Webmonkey on Tuesday, 07 October 2008
Google's Gmail Labs has a new experimental featured dubbed "Mail Goggles" which will attempt to prevent you from sending out those ill-advised late night e-mails.
Gmail developer Jon Perlow created Mail Goggles as a kind of e-mail sobriety test. It works by stopping your message when you hit send and then presents a series of simple math problems you need to solve before you really send the e-mail.
The goggles! They do nothing! Seriously, this is as useful as a pimple on the butt. If you get drunk enough to send out embarrassing e-mails, then deal with the results or reconsider your consumption of alcohol. But then, it seems that alcohol addiction is nothing rare amongst Google employees.
