Playboy Posts Free, Unedited Searchable Web Archive

It's sex. It's free. What more could you want?

Admittedly, it's soft-core, but Playboy and parnter Bondi Digital Publishing have unveiled PlayboyArchive.com. It's a 53-year archive, with one issue from each year, completely digitized (including ads), viewable and searchable.

Did I mention free?

If you've managed to avoid Microsoft's Silverlight to this point, you're going to have to install it if you want to view the archive, though.

The issues cover the years 1954 through 2007, Bondi Digital Publishing, who developed the platform for The Complete New Yorker, scanned and re-typed each of the issue of Playboy.

In the press release announcing the site, Hugh Hefner, Playboy Founder, Editor-in-Chief and Chief Creative Officer (as if I had to tell you that) said:

"Playboy has an incredibly rich history and an intensely loyal readership. This is the perfect opportunity to offer them something they have always wanted and also a great way to allow a whole new generation to easily explore the magazine."

I tried the site out (well, I had to, right), and while you can't expand the pages to full screen, you can zoom in and pan around the images. You can search for specific text (like say, Bo Derek), and there's a table of contents you can click through.

It's unclear if the issues will be changed from time to time, but that would make sense. Playboy says the issues currently at the site encompass many classic issues, and they include the famous issue with the interview with Jimmy Carter.

Gmail Gets an "Undo Send" Feature

How many times have you hit "Send" on an email, only to realize you goofed. More often than you want to admit, right? Outlook has a recall feature that works on Exchange ... some of the time. But basically emails sent via the Internet, once you hit "Send," they're gone. Until Gmail's "Undo Send" feature, that is.

It's another Gmail Labs feature, so to enable it you have to go into Settings, Labs, scroll down to Undo Send and enable it.

It's the same thing as sending any other email via the Internet, though. Once it's gone, it's gone. What "Undo Send" does is hold your email for 5 seconds before sending it.

During that time, if you click the "Undo Send" link, it will not only stop the email, it will roll back the email to the point you were at in composing it before you hit "Send."

Why only 5 seconds? They didn't want to add significant lag to the emailing process. You know how people complain when they don't get something "right now." Still, they are taking feedback, and will obviously tweak it as necessary.

Will it save you? I tested it and it worked. Don't try to send yourself an email to test it, though. In that case the email still showed up. Sending an email to my wife, and hitting "Undo Send" worked great, however.

This isn't the first Gmail Labs feature set to save you from yourself. Google earlier introduced Mail Goggles which would keep you from sending an email if you were too drunk or groggy to answer a math question.
