Eponymous Hero writes "The Geordi La Forge in all of us rejoices as Google announces Google Glasses, the augmented reality glasses that will no doubt spy on everything you look at and target you with ads at that crucial moment. The only question left begging is how soon can we merge them with bionic eye implants?"

  If you modify the phase variance, invert the polarity and transfer 10% of the dilithium matrix into your processing center, you might just hear a faint wooosh.
  That is, if you're not in the holodeck. But how would you know?

They better include a full HUD by flabordec · 2012-04-04 06:37 · Score: 5, Funny

It must include how much ammo I have left, my health and armor. Extra points if it has an image of my head as I take damage.

I love how the pitch boils down to "Google goggles: they'll help you get laid". (Ukulele not included)

Yes! Then you can play racing games while driving to work! Using Google Maps layers for tracks! Better yet, you can race against your coworkers to see who will get to work first. Productivity will soar!

Sooo... Would this cause your brain to overload with all the additional information - or for it to step aside and cease to function?
If you're the sort who will run right out and pick one up as soon as they become available, brain function has likely already ceased.

I can't wait for the app that will analyze a woman's clothing and give you a virtual facsimile of what she looks like naked. It's going to happen. And then it will be banned in the app store. And then it will be remade for the use of one pedophile on rooted glasses so they can see little kids naked out in the street. And then congress will get involved and the glasses will be banned.
You know what, let's just forget the whole thing.
