Designed To Care


As an Australian (or honorary Australian - a title you inherit simply from reading this blob) it is your moral duty to become instantly suspicious of any entity that is becoming too successful or well known. But, I’ve just noticed another bubble come off the top of the think-tank over there at Google Labs and as all powerful as they are, I take my pants off to them.

There’s a gadget you can turn on in Gmail that will not let you use it until you have performed three quick mental arithmetic functions. And the questions vary, so you can’t learn the answers.

That is brilliant.

When they work out how to get a breathalyser onto a mobile phone, it'll kill a lot of next-day comedy, but it will preserve a few jobs.

(You know who you are - sms tragic.)
