    Google goggles

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/3155...en-emails.html

    Who here would find this useful? Anyone prone to nearly sending/has sent ill-advised emails? (as distinct from ill-advised bluetooth-ing; looking at you here, j1979... ).

    Nah.. I'm not prone to sending ill-advised e-mails... I put it all in my blog. Much safer.


    It might be useful though... but the problem is that "simple maths problems" won't pose any problems for me even if I am drunk (which I won't be until I like alcohol.. sometime away yet) or completely exhausted (much more frequent.)

    I just passed my mock Maths GCSE with 97% without any sleep... I think it was a little easy. The point I'm making is, of course, that simple maths problems solve nothing!

    Course they do, they solve idiocy!

    You gotta remember, if this thing works then that's half of all internet activity gone!

    I'm not any good at simple arithmetic anyway, so in the words of StevieLee:

    i'd probably fail the test while sober.

    Might actually have a better chance of passing it while pished

    I believe it should be implemented in forums to force people who ask stupid questions that cannot be bothered to search to do so before posting
