Gmail = the new DeLorean?

So, I was going through my normal routine of checking my Gmail, when all of a sudden... BAM! Marty McFly crashed into me on his hoverboard. Okay, I'm lying, but now Google is offering us the chance to pull a Michael J. Fox and go back in time... at least in the digital world.


Were you supposed to send sweet old Aunt Peggy an email on her birthday and forgot? Don't fret... you can send her an email NOW and time stamp it for a previous date! (You tricky bastard you.) I mean, let's be honest, that old bitty probably doesn't check her email every minute like you do anyway.

You only get 10 custom time stamp emails a year, so you must choose your situations wisely. So, I'll open up the question of: in what situation would this Gmail Custom Time be most useful to you? (My personal response would be if my boyfriend broke up with me, I would lie and tell him that I already wrote him a Dear John email, but he must not have received it... and then I'd send him one time stamped for the previous day. Tee-hee.)

And don't fret kiddies, Google has an e-flux capacitor involved... they're not fucking around.
