April Fools' Day Reveals Gmail Paper

Gmail, the freeware mail solution provided by Google, gets another amazing feature that allows you to print all your messages stored in your inbox. How is this possible?
The company introduced a new function in the Gmail menu that enables you to select the messages that will be printed by the employees and delivered straight to your home. Although this sounds impossible, it actually isn't, Google publishing several testimonials of happy customers. The main question: is the service free? Of course it is because Gmail Paper is provided by Google, the company that offers only freeware services, accessible with a Google account.

"The cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements, which will appear on the back of your Gmail Paper prints in red, bold, 36 pt Helvetica. No pop-ups, no flashy animations-these are physically impossible in the paper medium. You can make us print one, one thousand, or one hundred thousand of your emails. It's whatever seems reasonable to you," Google sustained in the description of the new feature.

You must know that you are also able to print the attachments, as long as they are pictures or documents, the company offering high quality, glossy photo paper. The only files that cannot be printed are the audio attachments such as MP3 or WAV formats. "We recommend maintaining copies of your non-paper Gmail in these cases," Google says.

OK, I guess this is the moment to announce you the feature doesn't exist because it represents one of the jokes made by Google on April Fools' Day. Although many users were really excited with the innovative feature, it is only a prank made by the search giant for its customers from all around the world.
