A new Gmail Labs feature dubbed "Mail Goggles" has Gmail ask you a series of math problems before allowing you to send out emails late on certain nights—like, say, those nights when you're artificially motivated to tell your boss/significant other/frenemy just what the deal is. You can adjust the bewitching hours and difficulty of the math problems in your general settings. [via]

What a brilliant idea. A friend of mine bans themselves from being anywhere near anything with plugs when they're intoxicated - I wonder if this might make their life simpler.

Here at TechCrunch we’re big believers in mobile social networks. In February I wrote about how the iPhone is the perfect ecosystem to have it’s own social network (awesome device and software, location aware, elitist users). And in April I showed a teaser of an upcoming social network from Loopt that did everything I had asked for: iPhone only to start, location aware so that you could meet new people around you. Loopt has now ...

Everyone has cellphones and nobody gets lost. Luckily, our friends over at CollegeHumor decided to show us just how short many movies would be if their main characters had cellphones, and it's awesome. Check it out after the jump. [CollegeHumor]

The world’s first commercial wave farm is operational three miles off the shores of Portugal. The three 140-meter generators were built by British company Pelamis. The “sea snakes” convert the kinetic energy of wave motion into electricity -enough to power 1,000 homes. Each of semi-submerged Pelamis devices is 142m long, has a diameter of 3.5m and is made from 700 tonnes of carbon steel. A single wave converter is composed of four articulated sections that ...

So if you haven’t dropped by the Intrade site lately, it’s an interesting window into where the horse race stands. [...]
