Why I'm Sending Back Google Glass

Lucas123 (935744) writes "After using Google Glass for several weeks, Computerworld columnist Matt Lake had plenty of reasons to explain why he returned them, not the least of which was that they made him cross-eyed and avoid eye contact. Google Glass batteries also drain like a bath tub when using either audio or video apps and they run warm. And, as cool as being able to take videos and photos with the glasses may be, those shots are always at an angle. Of course, being able to do turn-by-turn directions is cool, but not something you can do without your smart phone's cellular data or a mobile hotspot. The list of reasons goes on... Bottom line, if Google Glass is in the vanguard of a future class of wearable computers, the future isn't the present."

    Personally if I seen one of these glassholes I'll knock them the fuck out or even better shoot them if I have my gun on me. If it's a free society for you to film me, then I'm free to fuck you up for doing it. Stop filming me and my kid without permission you pervert creep.
