Google Glass: What's With All the Hate?
An anonymous reader writes "Techcrunch takes a look at why so many people seem to make fun of Google Glass. From the article: 'Google Glass isn't even on sale yet and there is already a noticeable backlash against Google's first experiment in wearable computing. It's odd to see a product that was greeted with so much hype a year ago endure the love-hate cycle so quickly – even though there are only a few thousand units in the wild. Sure, we've done our share to popularize "glasshole" as a way to describe its users, but the backlash seems to go beyond the usual insidery tech circles.'"

Spot on. That's the main issue with me. And don't tell me "oh but we've got smartphones already".
Glass is a whole new level of invasivity.
Says the guy posting his thoughts publicly on the Internet. Want privacy? Stay home with your blinds closed and your computer unplugged.
It always cracks me up to see people PUBLICLY screaming about PRIVACY. If privacy were your goal, you wouldn't be posting.
There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
If you don't want to be recorded, then stay home. You have NO expectation of privacy when you are in a public place and if you attack me for recording in such a location, I will stab or shoot you in self defense.
That wooshing noise was my point going right above your head. Your comment implied it was for general privacy reasons. The law was written to stop pervs. And yes, it is a law that was passed for that exact reason.
