“It seems that we spend kidding ourselves, “the uS company said in a statement.
” Involuntarily has caused more headaches than smiles. Sorry, “he said.

button, but had serious for some particular consequences. “Thanks to ‘MicDrop’ (as called animation), just lost my job,” lamented one user in a forum Google products.
“I am a journalist and had to meet a deadline. he sent my articles and got no response. involuntarily I sent the email using the ‘MicDrop’ button,” he added .
