The BigG is developing a Gmail add-on called “Mail Goggles” that will prevent the users to send out embarrassing e-mails after too much party.
When the user enable this feature, every time he tries to send out an e-mail at the given hours, the Gmail interface will prompt some math quizzes; of course only if these quizzes are solved correctly in the given time, the e-mail can leave the server.
To activate “Mail Goggles” the user have to visit the “Labs” tab under the Gmail settings and enable it; after that, under the “General” tab there is a section for setup at which days and hours “Mail Goggles” will be actually active. Of course this nice feature only works if the user uses the web interface and not if he uses e-mail clients like Microsoft Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird
Gmail asks for confirmation before allowing the user to send embarrassing e-mails
