Introducing INBOX PAUSE. For when you temporarily want to “pause” incoming email in Gmail

Not so long ago I put the word out for a Gmail feature which would prevent any new email from appearing in my Inbox during particular periods of the day. See, like many of you I’m sure, as long as I’m online, I’ll constantly visit my Gmail Inbox to check for new mail. Even amidst the mother of all crises, I’d instinctively visit my inbox and lo and behold, there’s always new mail to distract me from more important issues.

The idea was to simply provide a feature which could prevent new email from appearing in the Inbox. Of course, I still wanted to be able to reply and compose mail, I just didn’t want new mail creeping in.

And, crucially, I always wanted to immediately be able to retrieve email when I was good and ready. I just didn’t want to be bothered by it or to be able to view any new emails.

Apple’s Patent Win Is Bad For Us All

Look, I get it. It’s a great story, maybe the greatest in the history of American business. From Day One, Apple did things the right way: clean, elegant, beautiful. But they were brought to their knees by Microsoft’s colossal mediocrity. Their visionary founder was forced out. They teetered on the brink. And then–bam! They were saved (ironically, by Microsoft.) They regained their footing.

How Apple And Google Could Make QR Codes Mainstream

Editor’s Note: Brenden Mulligan is an entrepreneur and product designer who created Onesheet, Webbygram, TipList, ArtistData, MorningPics, and PhotoPile. You can find him on Twitter at @mulligan. 

QR codes are everywhere. Frustratingly everywhere in my opinion. Countless companies put them on marketing materials, but not a single person I know actually scans them. I’m friends with lots of smartphone owners, and I’ve literally never, ever seen someone pull out their phone and scan a QR code.

Mellow Mood - Inna Jail

Mellow Mood - Inna Jail

Inna jail, inna jail
tuff life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
secret life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
ain't no prophet inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
nothing proper inna jail

Inna jail, inna jail
all the laughs dem run so fast deh
inna jail, inna jail
ain't no first and supa class deh
Inna jail, inna jail
unno cyaan forget your past deh
Inna jail, inna jail
only the fittest a go last deh


Dem say jail a mek yuh change, jail a mek yuh pay the cost
forget everything yuh leave, the whole a dem a get lost
sometimes life is so strange, stranger is what we do we own
we build slum and penitentiaries and dead man town

Inna jail, inna jail
tuff life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
secret life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
ain't no prophet inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
nothing proper inna jail


So who's the wrong, who's the right
why dem judge a man just at first sight
and who's the wrong, who's the right
why dem steal innocent man a life time
who's the wrong, who's the right
truth not always behind the eyes
and who's the wrong, who's the right
we mos affi know why, when and how deh


Dem a bit, dem a chat, dem a split, dem a part
dem a try fi push we down
dem a hit, dem a talk, dem a push, dem a lack
dem a jail we inna dem town
man to man the same old story
man to man is so unjust
babylon yuh never have to trust

Inna jail, inna jail
tuff life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
secret life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
ain't no prophet inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
nothing proper inna jail


And if a man is a man tell me what is a man if him got to count him days
many more behind the bars of a jail a go damn all dem praise
peace and love depon your lips and yuh cyaan stand a face to face
point me, point dem, enemies and friends, di youth inna rat race


Long time some man a go try fi explain, and only few heart dem a know seh fi real
inna dis, inna that, inna dem bwoy leer, babylon have a plan and that is so clear
black out, black out, dem a tell yuh what yuh mos
affi do, affi tell, affi claim, affi post
inna jail, inna jail all di right and unjust
dem a mek yuh pay the cost

Inna jail, inna jail
tuff life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
secret life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
ain't no prophet inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail
nothing proper inna jail

Mellow Mood - Dance inna Babylon

Mellow Mood - Dance inna Babylon


Dance inna Babylon, until its throne a fall
I'n'I who see teachings of the Rastaman,
Back inna the yard living gets so hard,
Never play the game of a politician.

Dance inna Babylon, until its throne a fall
I'n'I who see teachings of the Rastaman,
Back inna the yard living gets so hard,
Never play the game of a politician.


With righteousness I will bring you to my heart,
reveal you all I have ever heard
and everything will be so far away,
'cause you to me mean every word I say

Me just can't try to fight that all only with me hands
but with you here, with no fear, I know it could be better
and I always know where we a come from
and I'll fight till Jah keep me so strong!


Dance inna Babylon, until its throne a fall
I'n'I who see teachings of the Rastaman,
Back inna the yard living gets so hard,
Never play the game of a politician.

Dance inna Babylon, until its throne a fall
I'n'I who see teachings of the Rastaman,
Back inna the yard living gets so hard,
Never play the game of a politician.


Inna this race, where people rise and fall
ain't got no money? Well you've got to bow!
But with your work, with the knowledge of your edge,
you won't believe to every single word dem say

Me not a soldier, it's not there where I'm supposed to be
and ain't no work, ain't no game, me nah work for your deals
Me see everyone suffering alone
but together dem can't never get we down!


Dance inna Babylon, until its throne a fall
I'n'I who see teachings of the Rastaman,
Back inna the yard living gets so hard,
Never play the game of a politician.

Blaze, blaze up the fire, and look down the road
Blaze, blaze up the fire, for dem who neva bow
Blaze, blaze up the fire, and look down the road
Blaze, blaze up the fire, becaw dem neva tell you what:

Children suffering, struggling for politic strategy
Dem neva care 'bout woman, only what dem a conquering
Dem boundaries and barriers control all we humanity

But sufferah still shouting and you won't hear about it!

But sufferah still shouting and you won't hear about it!
