Posted by Jon Perlow, Gmail engineerSometimes I send messages I shouldn't send. Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together. Gmail can't always prevent you from sending messages you might later regret, but today we're launching a new Labs feature I wrote called Mail Goggles which may help.When you ...

I've been using this feature internally for a few weeks, and I love it. Now that there are difficulty levels, it will be even better.

webikinoktasifir - Bu çözüm daha önce spam mailleri önlemek için düşünülmüştü fakat bence buradaki amaca hizmet etmesi daha güzel olmuş. Ama bence bu eklenti şöyle geliştirilebilir. Her sorunun arasında gönderdiğini mailden birkaç cümle yerleştirilebilir. Siz hesaplamaları yaparken arada yazdıklarınızı görürseniz matematik sorularını cevaplarken kullandığınız mantık bu cümlelere de mantıklı açıdan bakmanızı sağlayabilir.

"When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?"

I remember a time when I was 16 and I told a girl I loved her via email... but I was an idiot then. Point-in-case; I was using Hotmail. This doesn't really seem all that useful now that I'm not dating someone, and nor do I feel the urge to confess undying love to anyone.As a side note: if you always wished I would confess undying love for you, assume I have this enabled and do to unfortunate circumstances that email was never sent =P

Posted by Emily Chang, Gmail engineerAs a Google engineer, I get a 24-inch widescreen monitor and a huge amount of email. I built a Labs feature to use the former to mitigate the latter.In my work email, I have painfully long lists in both Labels and Chat, so I used to scroll constantly in order to see my Labels. Now, with Right-side Labels enabled, I can see both my Labels and my Chat buddies at ...

Posted by Jon Kotker, Gmail engineering intern, Summer 2008I spent this last summer as many of the Gmail engineers do, armed with a cup of coffee or a can of soda, poring through lines of code, winding my way through the code base, and every once in a while taking a glance at the big whiteboard of feature ideas that the team maintains. When I had some spare time on my hands, I picked up ...

Posted by Jon Perlow, Gmail engineerLast October, we launched a rewritten code base for the Gmail user interface to Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 users. Since then, we've added support for Safari 3 and Firefox 3 and improved performance in other browsers. This new code base included major performance improvements and provided us with a solid foundation for launching new features such as colored labels, group chat and rich emoticons, invisible mode, AIM integration, ...

some companies don't have this privilege to talk to microsoft and ask them to fix IE6 with a critical update to their buggy javascript implementation. guess only developers that can use microsoft product in a way that they work are other huge corporations, like google for example.

Atilano said:
Who the hell in their right mind would choose to use IE6, or any version of IE for that matter?

Emil Kaiser said:
Trist. Hade varit skönt om Google tagit täten med att knuffa bort IE6...

Peter said:
I guess if google's willing to make IE6 work for gmail, we should make it work for laboratree.
