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.'"

The Cloud - because you don't care if your apps and data are up in the air.
Don't have a pair yet but already have plans to put them to work!
Take the hate for bluetooth earpieces,
Bluetooth earpieces are incredibly useful. They readily tag the "people I do not want to talk to" set.
I run a motel, and I have hidden cameras in every room. I've been doing this for three years, and not once has anyone complained. This whole privacy issue is way overblown; obviously people just don't care.
I agree, the general public isn't as paranoid about privacy as many are here on Slashdot:
I've spent the last 8 months filming up women's skirts using a secret, hidden camera built into my shoe. Not one woman has complained yet.
I find people don't care about privacy, not until it's the "creepy" guy staring at them instead of the average guy filming them without their knowledge.
