Sunday YouTube picks: “Don’t Be That Guy” & random prankster

April Fools, 2011 edition: Google kicks things off with Gmail Motion [Update: And oh so much more]
Just signed out of Gmail and was prompted to check out a new feature in beta called Gmail Motion.
Gmail Motion uses your computer’s built-in webcam and Google’s patented spatial tracking technology to detect your movements and translate them into meaningful characters and commands. Movements are designed to be simple and intuitive for people of all skill levels.
