Introducing Gmail Custom TimeTM - Be on time. Every time.WTF?? Ok, I know it isnt really video related but... according to my clock, it is still March. Why Google, oh why....? I actually fell for it for a second and had what I thought were a couple great ideas for emails to send... until I read some of the testimonials:
HAHA. Take a look at these guys faces..
"I just got two tickets to Radiohead by being the 'first' to respond to a co-worker's 'first-come, first-serve' email. Someone else had already won them, but I told everyone to check their inboxes again. Everyone sort of knows I used Custom Time on this one, but I'm denying it."Robby S., Paralegal
"This feature allows people to manipulate and mislead people with falsified time data. Time is a sacred truth that should never be tampered with."
Michael L., Epistemology Professor
"I used to be an honest person; but now I don't have to be. It's just so much easier this way. I've gained a lot of productivity by not having to think about doing the 'right' thing."
Todd J., Investment Banker
