If you’re like us, at some point in time, you’ve come home alone after a long night of frivolity and felt, well… nostalgic. You stumble over to the computer, take a seat on that cable spool you keep around for a chair and launch into a long e-mail to your ex-girlfriend. You tell her everything you never told her. Everything. You wake up the next morning, drenched in sweat, head pounding, and a new piece of e-mail is in your in box. It says something about never talking to you again, or a potential restraining order.
Well, the good folks at Google have something for you. The new Mail Goggles application ensures that you’re in your right mind before you fire off that e-mail. Before you hit “Send,” a window containing five math problems will pop up. If you can answer all five problems correctly in the allotted amount of time, Google will deem your e-mail guilt-free and send it on. If not, well, you’ll be thanking them in the morning.
By default, Mail Goggles takes charge on late weekend nights. But, fortunate for graveyard shift workers who tie one on during the daylight hours, those time parameters are fully adjustable. [From: Gmail Blog]
