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 ...

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 Stephanie Liu, YouTube APIs and Tools TeamA common way to use the YouTube API is to make a niche site -- YouTube isn't necessarily built to be a destination site for iguana lovers, or antique car racers, or people looking to learn Mandarin. Developers can use the API to create a rich supporting feature set for these communities. It's great to come across sites like this that are done well, so when I ...

C’est un billet de blog d’un employé de laboratoire chargé de contrôle sur les produits laitier. Un ami français dont niveau chinois est étonnant, l’a traduit en français. L’affaire du lait Sanlu est assez effrayante. En effet, j’ai toujours considéré le groupe Sanlu en Chine comme un leader du secteur et une marque nationale au-dessus des autres. Sanlu a toujours tiré son secteur en avant en matière de développement. Je ne m’attendais vraiment pas à ...

So in the past couple of weeks I’ve spent a fair amount of time with various segments of the foreigner population of Kunming (this has been to some extent by design: since I’m living with a family and taking one-on-one classes, finding people to hang out with when I want to be able to understand requires a fair amount of effort. It’s actually a lot harder than I expected--I think that unless they have some ...

Comme des millions d’actionnaires, en 2001, puis en 2002 parce que je n’avais pas vendu, je me suis brulé les ailes. J’ai perdu de l’argent. Beaucoup? Pas beaucoup? En fonction de mes revenus, c’était beaucoup. J’ai bien appris. Alors l’année dernière, dans le courant du premier trimestre 2007, en discutant tous azimuts, j’ai reçu la confirmation de ce que le monde entier savait déjà: les américains sont sur-endettés, le marché de l’immobilier aux Etats-Unis est ...

La crise de produits laitiers se transforme en panique générale et en crise de crédibilité politique du gouvernement. Les Chinois sont choqué par les informations suivantes: le gouvernement a reconnu que 69 produits laitiers de 22 grandes entreprises contiennent de la mélamine. Dans le pays, on n’ose plus consommer les produits laitier sauf les produits importés, qui sont chers, les pauvres n’ont pas les moyen. Les parents des nourrissons qui consommaient le lait en question ...

The bagel was delicious. Lightly smeared with all-American cream cheese. I was so enamored with this treat that I almost missed Sam’s parting words as he wandered off to the iPhone expert lab. Sam is our iPhone developer, and this was July. We were attending the Apple Wordwide Developer Conference, just before the launch of iPhone 3G. That was all very exciting. The iPhone stuff. But I had more important things to attend to. The ...

As I’ve said before, I believe mastering tones is the most difficult aspect of learning Chinese. Most people I know- even good speakers- typically don’t bother learning them; after awhile you intuitively figure out which tones to use because they “sound right”. This mainly only works for the most common words. For example, most Chinese speakers know that 开 is first tone, because this is a word we use constantly. But what about less common ...
