Theater Chain Bans Google Glass

mpicpp sends this report from Ars: A cinema chain announced Tuesday that it is now barring patrons from wearing Google Glass at its movie houses across the U.S. in a bid to clamp down on piracy. Alamo Drafthouse, which runs theaters in Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and soon in California, is among the first U.S. chains to ban Google's computerized eyewear. 'Google Glass is officially banned from @drafthouse auditoriums once lights dim for trailers,' the chain's chief executive, Tim League, tweeted. The decision comes as Google has made the eyewear readily available to the general public, and it follows a slew of incidents in which wearers of Google Glass have had brushes with the law.

Re:Alama being sensationalist again...

I would give my left testicle to have had google glass when I took my , then fiance, to a theater filled with 50 of her friends as a surprise. To have that 25 years later would be awesome. TO see her face when we sung Happy Birthday to her and a theater of hundreds joined in.

And yes, that was all before the previews started. They didn't have ads then.

So stop telling me what I want to record. People are just as inconsiderate as when you where a kid, they just have another outlet.
I don't like lights from personal devices in the theater, but it's still better then when they allowed smoking.
