I know a prime working incentive for googlers is their 20% and a lot of good products have been developed as a result (ie GMail), but I think the most recent addition to GMail Labs is seriously stretching the idea. For those of you who don’t know, Google released Mail-Goggles which is designed to save us from sending unwanted e-mails after trundling back from a night at the pub. I don’t know about you, but if I were so inclined to talk to someone while inebriated I’d be more likely to use the phone in my pocket instead of waiting to walk home and then operate a keyboard. And why math. Its already hated by the vast majority of people so why should we continue to give it a bad rap by involving it with drunken frustrations. But then again some of us actually get better at math after having a few beers. Maybe highest level asks for a structured proof of something interesting like the Heine-Borel Theorem or its close cousin the Bolzano-Weierstrauss Theorem.

You’d really think I’d agree with this, but I am unfortunately one of those people who far too often send haphazard emails to people I don’t even remember, I’m more inclined to use myspace to do this (you should see half my bulletins after 2:30 am…jesus…) but regardless, at least it shows that gmail people have a sense of humor, which we could use more of these days.
Lol! Came across the Mail-Googles thingy. There really is some real proof as to why it came about. Considering tht many haphazardly sent mails after a night of boozing…:)
