"gmail" news and stories

Always on the cutting edge of innovation, Google has done it once again, attempting to make drunken emails a thing of the past.

Equally dangerous for making your friends think you are a bad speller or a lush, drunken emails can be especially devilish since, unlike a drunk dial, a drunken email will forever linger in your sent items folder for you to read and re-read. Even worse, they can be embarrassingly forwarded to other friends or your sponsor.

So here's the deal: You enable Mail Goggles in Gmail, you choose the days and times you are most likely to be intoxicated (sorry, no "select all" button) and you choose a difficulty level. Every time you attempt to send an email during your specified hours, you'll be prompted to answer a series of math questions to verify your sobriety. Cool, huh?

Next up, a program to keep you from throwing your computer across the room when you can't figure out what 37 + 19 equals.

Gmail got a little inspiration from all of those spam e-mails and created their spam recipe folder, offering up hundreds, perhaps thousands, of span recipes. They don't take into account the content of those e-mails, which as we all know, seems to be about viagra more than half the time. The recipes get a little more inventive if you consider their contents and start making viagra-themed spam recipes. Whether you actually want to attempt any of them is a matter of personal preference, but a giant viagra mousse (above) or some dyed-blue spam tempura in the little blue pill's signature diamond shape would probably be a hit at parties whether people actually opted to taste them or not.

And you might want to pick up some viagra gelato for dessert, too.
