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.'"

    Protip: When you leave your Mom's basement and go out into the world, you "lose privacy" and so does everyone else.

    If you don't want Google Glass down in your dungeon lair, don't let people bring it in.

    Protip 2: Smartphones are everywhere and have both video and audio recording devices built in, which can be secretly activated by the user! ZOMG!

    If it smells like a shill and it posts like a shill then I'm betting it's a shill.

    You could diff this kernel with the mainline one and see which files are new.
