In a startling new investment in time futures, it seems as though Google can now backdate emails so that you never have to fret about an unsent email. You get ten uses. Any more than that "would cause people to lose faith in the accuracy of time, thus rendering the feature useless."

    • well technically if they used one of those experimental quantum computers they could send messages back in the 4th dimension, maybe that's what could happen.

    • someone sent out the following email to our "free food" listserv at UNC:

      Orange County Democrats have been working hard to supply cookies, brownies and drinks for Barack Obama's speech today in Memorial Hall at 3:30.

      See you there!

      I TOTALLY FELL FOR IT!!!!! Luckily I called Memorial Hall and they said the event was not real. I wonder how many people showed up...

    • "the joke has started a minor Wikipedia war, which makes it more interesting. In describing the technology Google says “Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality (see Grandfather Paradox)” and links to the Grandfather Paradox on Wikipedia. Someone changed the words “time travel” to “gmail” in a revision, along with the comment “Gmail starts a wiki-war by linking directly to this article on April 1st…”
