Before our is taken over with rumors about tomorrow's epic Apple music event, we'd like to take a step back to discuss some other important matters, like your Inbox. If you're a Gmail user, you might have noticed (or heard) that Google has introduced the Priority Inbox. This feature splits up your inbox into three sections: "important and unread," "Starred" and "Everything else." Sounds just like how we organize life, doesn't it?
As the messages roll in, Gmail will automatically flag them as the service sees fit. The company has updated its junk mail filter to sort through email such as mailing lists--Google's officlal Gmail blog refers to these as "bacn". Whether or not the "bacn" really excites you is another point entirely, but this new Priority Inbox feature should hopefully weed out the bad email from the good, and distinguish the important messages.
