Washington, October 8: Google has come up with “Mail Goggles” that can prevent people from sending stupid e-mails, especially at particular hours when they are most likely to be inebriated and at risk of making a complete idiot of themselves.

Mail Goggles throw five maths problems up on the screen when a user presses the “send” button. The problems have to be solved within a limited period of time.

Being able to do so would cause the system to presume that the user’s mental state is sound enough to send appropriate mails.

Even if a person is very good at solving mathematical problems, there is an option to ramp up the difficulty of the questions.

London, Sept 29: In a bid to recruit the next generation of spies, UK’s Secret Intelligence Service MI6 has launched a series of online adverts on the social networking website Facebook.

While, the intelligence agency had traditionally been recruiting members from the country's elite universities, this time it has targeted the popular social networking site.

"A number of public channels are used to promote job opportunities in the organisation and Facebook is a recent example of this," the Guardian quoted a Foreign Office spokeswoman as saying.
