It solves the problem for the most part, which is what's important here. We're not building a rocket.

It 'solves' the problem in the same way that "save frequently keep backups" 'solves' the "my OS crashes every 10 minutes" problem.

This shouldn't BE a problem in the first place... and that's just the problem.

Yes, problems in the new Gmail are relevant to an article on problems in the new Gmail.

we aren't dealing with the age-old failings of human nature -- it's a simple problem some engineer could fix in a day.

> That's a workaround of sorts, not a solution.

Now that I reread it and some of the responses, I think he's just arguing over the use of the word "solution", not saying he doesn't like the workaround which is what I originally thought. It depends on how you read it.

I believe you only have a short period of time in order to use that. So not really a problem solver.
