CibbuanoLate-night drunken emails are softly questioned by Google
October 14th 2008 21:59
It's called "Mail Goggles" and it's a gentle suggestion that you don't send out emails late at night, after you've been drinking.
The service will ask you if you really want to send the message and present you with a series of simple math questions, hopefully delaying you long enough to let you think about the wisdom of quitting your job via an email that compares your boss to a defecating donkey.
It'll also hopefully stall you long enough so that, after you've come home from Friday drinks with the company accountants, you'll get too befuddled by math to send that email requesting a quote for a transsexual sex doll. With attachments.
The main culprit is sending emails to ex-boy/girlfriends, requesting another chance, or bragging about your newfound social life. These emails are saved by ex's all over the world, and are subsequently sent out, en masse, to friends and family. Trust me, you don't want to be the guy that sends out the email version of crying and begging, only to get it forwarded to you by the waitresses at TGIFriday's.

Will Orble be introducing comment goggles?
Maybe a spelling test? What is the correct spelling of Anomanos?

You've got me thinking back to my younger drunken days though,when I used to phone friends answering machines to leave them messages I would later regret. In my inebriated state...I don't think math questions would have kept me from making a complete and total fool of myself. Ofcourse...we'll never know!

However I wouldn't mind trading in my Tequila Goggles for a pair of Rum Goggles.

I don't know. I heard about this a while back on the radio, but I wasn't sure when they were implementing it.
I believe in preventing drunk calls and texts, but I think this is a little much...
