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.'"

    I live in Europe. Here privacy doesn't end when you step outside. Hence the many problems Google is having in Germany and other EU countries.
