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.
These glassholes, for lack of a better term, walk around and act like they are shocked when others don't want a camera on them all of the time.
It is just like if someone walked around holding their phone/camcorder/camera in front of him all of the time and was pointing it everywhere he looked. No one wants that. These glassholes act as they have some sort of inalienable right and if someone complains then their civil liberties have been violated by a glassist.
Um excuse me, but society isn't just a playground for geeks to play their "emerging/advancing technologies at all costs" fantasies.
I mind.
Then you're a dick. A self-important wanker of the highest order.
You didn't pay for a private screening, you paid for 1 two-hundredth of the cost.
But apparently there are a few of you, and these people cater to your kind.
Different strokes for different folks...
Violence is the only way to stop these sanctimonious pricks.
You see some fucktard wearing one, walk up to him and smash his face in. After you do that, stab him or her in their genitals because they do not deserve to procreate.
It's the only way to be sure.
