This post is about Google thinking for you. Google has come up with this feature called Mail Goggles which is basically a way of trying to keep people from sending emails they don't really want to send. And I quote...
"Sometimes I send messages I shouldn't send. Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together. Gmail can't always prevent you from sending messages you might later regret, but today we're launching a new Labs feature I wrote called Mail Goggles which may help.Personally, I can see the use for this but I think there's much more of a need for this feature on cellphones. How many of you have been drunk-dialed late at night by somebody on some dumb ish? Or not even drunk-dialed but just called because someone is in a ridiculous emotional state? I'm not gonna run to my Google account to send a drunken email. I'm more likely to do this over a phone call or a text message. Perhaps this Mail Goggles feature is just a bit ahead of its time and since I don't use the web browser on my phone I'm just not getting it. Nevertheless, I think it'll help mostly people who sit in the house at 1am on a weekend night getting drunk while watching pRon on their computers.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?"
Meanwhile, most folks will be out drunk-dialing and drunk-texting while leaving whatever soireé they happen to be attending.
