Nokia should get right on this for cell phones
Those uber-geeks are Google have come up with a new feature for Gmail.
If you are someone who is prone to drunk-emailing people, this feature is designed to help you out.
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?
So it’s not going to help you when you hit that “Send All” button, or misspell the recipient’s address, but it might even help you out if you are trying to send an angry e-mail. (You may be calmer by the time you’ve figured out those puzzles or forgotten what the fuss is all about.)
I would think this is something that would be way, way more valuable on a cell phone though. I mean I have a PC on most of the time I’m awake and I have never even thought to drunk e-mail anyone.
