Intel Processor Could Be In Next-Gen Google Glass

An anonymous reader points out this story that Intel could be in charge of creating the chips for the new Google Glass. Intel is expected to supply the chips for a new version of Google's Glass device in 2015, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources. The Intel processor will replace one from Texas Instruments, which is used in the current version of Glass, which is a device that allows people to view the Internet or take pictures while wearing it on their heads. Intel hasn't commented yet. The Wall Street Journal said that Intel plans to promote Glass to hospital networks and manufacturers. Google watched the web-connected eyewear in 2012, but it carried a hefty price and was regarded as something that only nerds would wear.

I set a local private clinic up with its own offline, airgapped copy of the BMJ among other journals and encyclopedias, complete with a dedicated email account set up to receive xml feeds for uploading to flash and dropping onto the clinic server. They were well happy, they can do a full text search for practically anything connected with medicine without going online.
