funny they dont mention alcohol or drunkenness explicitly anywhere in the email, yet everyone knows what this is about.


I also liked their rationale for Chrome's "incognito mode": "For times when you want to browse in stealth mode, for example, to plan surprises like gifts or birthdays, Google Chrome offers the incognito browsing mode."

Google enables our vices without actually identifying them. :)


I actually did use Chrome's incognito mode to buy a birthday gift the other day. On the other hand, the gift was a vibrator. Not sure which side this ends up supporting.

don't need this linked to my actual name

Yeah, you wouldn't want anyone to know you enjoy sex.


Actually, I wouldn't want the recipient to search for my name and ruin the surprise.


Either you're buying a gift for pg or you're really paranoid. Maybe both?


No: his or her bf or gf is a hacker too.


>alcohol or drunkenness

From experience one has followed the other. but YMMV ;)

I think both an email client and SCM client should be integrated with a breath tester.
