Google Glass: What's With All the Hate?

Posted by samzenpus on Monday May 27, 2013 @07:38AM from the half-empty-glasses dept.

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.'"

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.
