All I know is the first person that walks into a public bathroom (or one at a sporting event for example) wearing one of these Google Glasses is going to get punched.
The product is already dead. Any business owner who doesn't ban Glass is asking for trouble. If I were a bar owner, I'd ban them and have the bouncers toss anyone wearing them, and if they "accidentally" get broken in the process, oops!
If I am ever approached by someone wearing a device like this, even if I know them, my first words to them will be, "take it off and put it in your pocket or this conversation is ended."
I think we can already gauge the public response to this technology by the comments in this thread.
Better off getting used to the idea of having them around whether you like it or not. Unless you want to pass a law that all cell phones, cameras, and video recorders need to be outlawed or neon green too. These are going to have a big impact on the world, just like twitter had on news. Whether it is for better or worse is the question.
Vegas has already passed laws against the use of GG, you are not allow to have them in Casinos, but you can have a phone, but do not pull it out will playing and begin using it, they will tell you to turn it off. Also most gym now ban use of cell phone in locker rooms and such even if it does not have camera. So Laws are already on the book and are being up held in courts.
I actually went to one Casino out side the US and they would put tape over the camera and this was prior to smart phones, not sure how they deal with that these days.
Some men don't use an umbrella for fear of looking unmanly. Value judgments are often illogical but perhaps part of the geek ethos is to place value on usefulness ahead of social convention. Glass is an opportunity to underscore the point.
WOW! It's JUST like what I can do with my iPhone or iPad that I already HAVE!
WOW! It's JU–I think you get it.
Google's business will be propped up solely by FBI, CIA, NSA, and TSA officials buying Google Glass.
Not a single person on the planet has ever or will ever claim that a calculator invades their privacy. Come off it.
You know the one thing that everyone has missed.......? He's wearing while he's driving! WTF we have enough problems with morons checking out whats going on between their legs whiteout having to worry about dweebs reading their emails and surfing porn while behind the wheel of a 3500 Lbs ball of death. I say no.
I understand that you're pathetic for resorting to username editing. I understand that I already own devices that can do everything in which you have claimed Glass is innovative. I understand that you don't seem to understand what a calculator is and how it relates to Glass.
Now, if you'd like to rewrite your argument such that someone could "understand" what you're trying–but apparently not succeeding–to put across, that'd be super.
I think all the reviewers misunderstand what kind device Google Glass really is. Google Glass is not a cell phone. It is simply a bluetooth accessory. It won't function without connecting to a real smartphone. When the reviewers have this true understanding then they may actually write a review without all these negative observations.

Bluetooth or not, paired with a cell phone or not, it still won't stop goofs from using them while driving.

Of course, we still see many people using bluetooth headphones. The reality is a bluetooth accessory is not a must have gadget for every people. You use it only if you have particular needs.
Todd...My aunt got a job doing easy typing work. and it is all WORK AT HOME. they provided training so no experience needed...she's getting $2000 every two weeks and loves the flexible schedule.....check out the site (click "more" tab)
I think cameras, cell phones are a little different from a privacy standpoint. When using a phone or a camera, it's a little obvious your filming or taking a shot. With Glasses, you're just wearing it and people don't know if you actuly recording or not. So privacy concern is real. Besides, I wear eye glasses and I really don't like to, if I could I'd wear contacts but I can't. It will get tiresome quick and will be useless as a paper weight.
The thing is, you can very discretely photograph or record someone with a phone. As I attempted to point out in the other Glass thread, you can point a phone in a direction totally separate to where you're looking and get a shot. I think the difference is how the technology was introduced. Cell phones got introduced without cameras and then had crappy cameras until having decent cameras. The addition of the invasive technology of a camera got lost in the rapid ubiquity that cell phones acquired.
Meanwhile Glass was introduced with the camera being a major feature and thus impossible to ignore. The demo videos show a red LED being active while recording, but I'm sure it could easily be hacked or just broken to not turn on.
As for the issue with Glass and regular glasses, I think the obvious thing is for Glass to allow for having the lenses swapped out for proper prescription lenses.
To steal a line that gets used all the time with non-Apple products, Glass is ugly. They should have done something stylistically to balance out the black housing on the right side, even if it didn't serve a purpose. As it is, Glass looks lopsided.
I understand that you're pathetic for resorting to username editing.
Maybe his finger hit the "k" and "d" instead of the "l" and "s" since both pairs of letters are right next to each other. And maybe he typed his response on a device that automatically corrected Skil to Skill. And maybe you could not jump to douche assumptions. It's not like he rewrote your name as Lacks Skil or Lamest Skil.

I've never seen the light on it. Is there a demo video that shows it coming on? If it's very small, someone could just dab paint over it or something.
There's a perv here that's been walking into toilets with them:

In typical Samsung fashion they just one ups Google and beat Apple to the real next great invention. NSFW

Talkedt Skill doesn't understand, again.
I say no.

This guy is the perfect candidate for GG

Won't work. Anyone wearing these glasses would lose any residual shred of sex appeal they might have - and never get laid.
