Mail Goggles

I saw this at FoxNews.com and had to pass it along, though I'm not sure why. It's likely that most regular readers of this blog will probably not need this creative new feature of Gmail: Mail Goggles.

"When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?"


I'd love to know what the geniuses at Google can come up with to keep me from sending hurtful or offensive e-mails in the middle of the day. You know... the ones that you read and re-read eleventy-hundred times, are satisfied, and then send them, and realize a few seconds later that you said something that you're pretty sure will be taken as offensive?

Nah, I've never sent one of those...
