Google releases tool to curb drunken digital correspondence

Google has released a rather novel tool called Mail Googles, a new feature that will hopefully curb digital correspondence from being sent when the sender is potentially in a drunken stupor. Available from the "Labs" tab from within Gmail, it works by posing an on-the-spot "mental" checkup prior to sending an email. This is done by means of a series of math problems to be solved within the span of 60 seconds. Multiple levels of difficulties are available, probably to thwart drunken geniuses who might still have it in them. Before you cringe at having to do this every time, users are able to select days and times for the feature to be active. The default setting is between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. on weekends. Stop sending mail that you will regret later.
