Google Glass: What's With All the Hate?

Posted by samzenpus on 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.'"

    We had better get the etiquette of removing it before entering the locker room sorted out pretty quickly. Are people going to take it off when entering the men's lavatory too?



    They are probably not taking it off. And if I am in the lavatory I dont mind you coming in. I dont mind anyone coming in. Its a lavatroy for crying out loud! However, I would mind if one came in with the power to transmit it to the rest of the world and any NEO with a broadband connection, for it will stay there FOREVER! The web has no issues with Alsheimer disease, it doesn't forget anything when it gets older. So, that is where I draw the line.

    I might have a crack in my crystal sphere, but I predict you this: The same people that are going to be glassholes will be the same people who now say:
      - I don't need alcohol to have a good time...
      - I have no secrets to anyone, privacy is for creeps...
      - If you hate my googleglasses so much, you probably have something to hide! Are you a muzzy / nazi / pedo / terrorist / socialist???
      - My kids never have bruises...
      - "...and then I came home and kissed my wife goodnight" at the end of each story they tell.

    So, you might want to consider the following:
      - stop being around boring people
      - Only be around the ones that are bro enough to sniff coke from a whore together with you. Even if she is 60 and missing a leg. And an arm.
      - Punch the suckers in the face till your hand starts to hurt, who are about to sniff coke from a 60 years old Thai whore with one arm and one leg, together with you while having the glasses on. They are bro's, but with a learning disability. They have to learn... You are the teacher!

    Or at least that is my plan!
