Google Releases Glass Kernel Source Code

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-you-one dept.

hypnosec writes "Google has released the kernel source code of Google Glass publicly just a couple of days after the wearable gadget was rooted by Jay Freeman. Releasing the source code, Google has noted that the location is just temporary and it would be moving to a permanent location soon saying: 'This is unlikely to be the permanent home for the kernel source, it should be pushed into git next to all other android kernel source releases relatively soon.'"

    Which is why I want to see Google and several other large corporations pool their money and fund a private army to overthrow Germany and the EU.

    The corrupt Cultural Marxists in charge have had it coming for a long time. Remember their recent attempt to ban porn in the EU?

    Pretty sure you could do so much more covertly with glass than any phone (restrooms, up skirt, etc)

    Should I remind you why some countries, like Japan, demand all camera phones to make a shutter sound when snapping a pic?

    Because lowering your arm with a phone camera-side up and pressing the button is too damn easy, so you're about decade too late with your OMG UNDERSKIRT VOYEURS scare.

    Now imagine nonchalantly doing the same with Google Glass.

    PS: "OMG taking photos by winking" + "OMG covert upskirt photos" make a nice combination. Covertly peek under her skirt and wink! Alternatively, smoothly put your Glass under her skirt and say aloud "OK, Glass, take a picture!"
