    Nonsensical product in search of a problem to solve. Changing its appearance will amount to a hill of beans.

    But this is OUR hill... and these are OUR beans!

    Google Glass is Google's feeble and failed attempt to create a wearable device using their own skills. Apple is widely acknowledged to be interested in the wearable space; Tim Cook has intimated at new product categories and Phil Schiller has stated that the products in the pipeline from Apple are the strongest he's seen for twenty-five years.

     

    That's what Google Glass has to do with Apple, but you knew all that, of course, and were simply making a trollish jibe and waiting for the first fish to bite, that fish being me.

     

    Now you've had your tea, it's time for bed.

    Once a Glasshole, always a Glasshole. But now you can be a fashionable Glasshole.

    Yeah Google is seeing the carpet being pulled so they becoming like big oil, the greasing the skips to make sure the stupid idea will not be limited. Google is becoming a lobbying power house these days.

     

    Honesty, if it is such a good idea why is so many trying to regulate what that are doing and why do they have to play the political game.

    You read the article.  You post on the article.  You read other poster's thoughts and responses to the article.  And you even re-respond back.



    These posts always confuse me.  Is the point to pretend you are so busy that you don't have time to read this?  Is the point to prove you don't want to be burdened with non-Apple stories?  Because your actions and posts prove otherwise.  I really don't understand it.

    Keep in mind jumping the shark means that doing something desperate to make sure you stay relevant or popular. Remember Google is search and advertising company not a technology company. Android is their attempt to get into the Mobile OS business, to help sell more ads well that is failing to achieve it stated goals. Nest can also be added into the category of an idea which is jumping the shark. Some time it is completely obvious then a company or program is jumping the shark, some time it take years of looking back and saying what they hell happen to that company. I believe google has become so desperate that are doing things which are just stupid for them to be involved in.

    Yep. It's not the glasses part that is the issue. It's the bulky side piece. They should be trying to go retro with a a big plastic "nerd" frame where all the bits are inside that frame than this 'sunglasses with a giant tech zit'.

    Hipsters love the nerd spec look so they would jump for it.

    And if google could figure out a way to protect onto the lens and not into the eye they would probably have fewer complaints of headaches etc.

    Google must has realize that women need to combat the geeks guys using google classes to hit on women, this was the glass can tell the women to watch out for the geek in the room.

    This solves all the problems with Glass, which, as every geek has been squawking about, are all to do with how fashionable the plastic is.  Now no one need have any cause for complaint with Glass, because it's packaged with some trendy bug eyes.

    If you've never heard of DvF then you've never heard of anyone in fashion.

    She is best known for introducing the knitted jersey "wrap dress" in 1974, an example of which, due to its influence on women's fashion, is in the collection of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

     

    She re-launched her fashion company, Diane von Fürstenberg (DvF), in 1997, with the reintroduction of her famous wrap dress. The company is now a global luxury lifestyle brand offering four complete collections a year. DvF is available in over 70 countries and 45 free-standing shops worldwide. The company’s headquarters and flagship boutique are located in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.

    In 2005, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) awarded her the Lifetime Achievement Award and the following year named her as their president, a position she has held since 2006.

    Google will get scammed all their project money, and when the fashion designers position are not longer overpaid, everyone will quit and left a giant holes in Google future revenue.

    Why? Because for years fashion designers avoided designing glasses with too much effort and time. You can't see them on the fashion shows in detail, and to fit different face shapes, they need to design different glasses frames that produce in a small quantity.

    I have been telling Google that people who wear glasses wasn't doing it for the fashion or other reason. We do it because we need to. Glasses are the back braces at the front, and that's the reason why LASIK existed.

    Of course, even Google doesn't read their Google page, so just let them burn like Enron.

    It doesn't project an image onto your eye lens. I't really no different than looking at your computer monitor or TV. The headaches that some get when first using Google Glass reportedly comes from using your eye muscles in an unaccustomed way, regularly looking slightly up and changing focus to see the display. I've read those go away after you've used Glass for awhile as your muscles get used to it but can't comment from personal experience.

    Every time I see someone with Google Glass I maneuver myself out of their way, I somehow feel like my rights are being violated.

    They could be shooting a video and not tell you or doing something else, it just doesn't feel right yet.
