Title: (GMail) Please tell me this is some April Fools joke
Post by: VANGUARD on April 01, 2011, 06:03:25 AM
I was checking email in my gmail account, and came ascross this:

http://mail.google.com/mail/help/motion.html

It HAS to be a joke/prank. there is no way, in this world, this can be taken seriously.

Motion to send email, compose, reply, etc. What if you're really pissed off. can it detect hand signals? or a finger I shall ask instead?  ;D

Is this some April Fools joke back at me? I went back to the site without thinking that. But I thought, if it's a joke, I fell for it. Then I thought, I might as well look anyways for a date. and I don't see one, unless it's in that video.

I checked email the other day, and I didn't see it. Not until today.

update: that one video was sort of funny. certain body movements/signals will add in words.

If you're mad, or care to write something "adult", like at work. hmm.. yeah. good luck with that  ;D

If you really are confused, just click the "try gmail motion" button. It'll tell you everything you need to know about it

After clicking the button, read this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%27s_hoaxes)

You should always keep in mind that Google is famous for their April Fool's jokes. :P
