Or for you to give away or sell your glass:

Devices like this will just add to general de-socialisation, contrary to what companies like Facebook and Google will have you believe. If I'm talking to someone, why would I want them to be looking at me with a video camera at the ready...constantly looking up at their screen, or ticking their head like they've got tourettes?
No doubt this will probably sell like hot cakes but if someone starts a conversation with me with one of these things on, I'll just give them a polite FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

"The man, identified as Columbus-based Tiberiu Ungureanu by the Washington Post, was watching "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" with his wife when a federal agent suddenly ripped the device from his face, even though it wasn't switched on. (He had prescription lenses installed and had worn the glasses to the AMC Easton 30 on numerous previous occasions.)" http://www.businessinsider.com/g…
Shouldn't they verify the damned thing is even on before ripping it from your face? Presumptuous agent is the idiot. What if 50% of the audience is also wearing PRESCRIPTION eye wear, as this case? Maybe infra-red flashes (as used in concerts) can be the solution instead of heavy-handed authoritarianism.
Step up your game entertainment industry, combat copyright infringement capable technology with.... technology maybe?

Sure, it's ugly now but in 10 years this technology will be in available in contact lenses or the bridge of designer frames. Hands free video chat and HUD will be useful enough that people will adopt it. Not everyone, but enough to keep the technology moving forward.

Yet another Google epic fail in the making!

Is Google Glass big enough to snort cocaine off of?

When Sergey was demoing it and looking up it looks like he was having mini strokes.
This shit is retarded beyond belief, way too intrusive and stupid looking to catch on for a long time.
Compare the iPhone to the brick phones of the 80s, Glass isn't even at that brick phone stage yet I feel.

I'm with ZOOP on this one.
Every smartphone today has a camera, should they be left at the door of the theater upon arrival? No. The social etiquette is to not use your phone in a theater. It is not forced from your hands, (though you may be shot by a retired cop) as you seat yourself.
What this lacks is trust and education on behalf of the agent in question. Not the other patrons, not the theater in which he'd worn them before, but the guy who THOUGHT he understood the technology, which he obviously didn't.
It was only his blatant misuse of power that turned this into a situation more than a simple exchange between two individuals that could have been as easy as:
Are those Google Glasses you're wearing? You can not record video in a theater sir, that is a crime.
I understand sir. Yes they are Google Glasses, they are prescription, and as you can see by the lack of a record indicator light, I am not recording.
