Feature of the day: Google gives you a chance to fix the username you prayed to forget

Now you can change the part before @gmail.com and make it more professional — especially relevant if you once registered something like megatroll777@gmail.com. Your account doesn't get lost: all emails, photos, and data are preserved, and the old address remains active and continues to receive messages.

There's a catch: you can only change the address once a year, and for now the feature is only available in the US. But the fact itself sounds like a lifesaver for millions of people tired of explaining their username in work correspondence.
