I am quite sure that you have all done something similar to me; had a few drinks, then sent a text message or email whilst not quite ‘mentally balanced’. Most of the time these drunken messages result in nothing more than a slightly red face. Very occasionally something that may have seemed like an infallible idea the night before, may come with extreme unwanted circumstances.
I am guessing a few of you are nodding in agreement?
Well Google in their ‘make things better’ way have come up with a way to reduce embarrassment, and they have called it Mail Goggles.
Mail Goggles is simply activated late at night and before you are allowed to send an email using your Gmail account you will be challenged with a few questions that hopefully should determine your sobriety…

Mail Goggles
If you can solve the maths questions in less than a minute then you a deemed to be sober enough to send your email, easy as that. Quite simple and clever really, but I know next time I am off to the local boozer I won’t forget to activate my Mail Goggles!

I received a very pleasant mail today. My inbox is usually full of stupid cease & desist messages from various antipiracy organizations, but it’s mails like this one which make you happy. It’s good to see that some people realize that internet piracy isn’t just evil…
