Mail Goggles… Really?
The Official Gmail Blog is reporting that Google Labs is working on a protection mechanism that will limit the chance you will send an ill-advised email in the middle of night. The idea is that this new feature, named Mail Goggles, will present a simple math problem that must be solved before the email is sent. Apparently you can turn this feature on or off, and it will only be active in the wee small hours of the morning. If you are coherent enough to solve a math problem, then chances are you are awake/sober enough to communicate via email. We all say weird things when we are too tired or under the influence; it is good to know that Google is there to help protect us from ourselves.
