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.'"

Hate because Its not iGlass by ThePeices · 2013-05-27 08:25 · Score: 1, Troll

All the hate is because it is not made by Apple.
If it was iGlass, the love-in would be tremendous. Of course, if Apple made it, there would be no customer input, no previews, no leaks and no idea the product even existed until after the "one more thing..." moment arrived.
But after that, the store lines would already be forming.
