    The issue is whether or not smart phones are "worn all the time" as you posited in defense of Google's latest gadget. They are not "worn", they are carried and a lot of people don't carry them at all when engaging in all sorts of activities. Go back to answering the phone with your bluetooth headset. And don't try to wear your phone while texting. You'll end up with earwax over everything when you miss the entry "keys." Hahahahahaha!

    You lost with your first post. Give it up, you just sound more stupid with every subsequent one.

    More specifically, it's meant to be simply worn, even when it is not not being actively used at the time, and available for use at any time without having to fish it out of a pocket or case or what have you, or else the entire point of it being wearable in the first place is lost, and it offers no advantage over something you can carry in your pocket.

    Yes, as has been pointed out it can't easily be folded away or ignored, hence my recommendation of a "Ray Charles" design.

    Repeating what "facts?" That cellphones are "worn" or that no one leaves home without one? I never take mine surfing.

    You lose.

    To be more precise: you're lost in the semantic weeds. Hope you remembered to bring your cellphone so you can find your way out with a GPS app. LOL!

    You replied to the wrong post. I never used the word "generally." In fact I gave a "particular" counter-example. Learn to read.

    Not very good design choices in that case. Like I said, Ray Charles type frames would be a whole lot better (and stealthier.)

    Wrong again. I leave my smartphone at home lots of the time. That's what voicemail is for. BTW unless you are a total pimply faced geek, you carry a smartphone in your pocket, you don't wear it unless you work in an Indian call center.

    So why not a version with a Ray Charles type sunglasses frame. Plenty of room for extra battery size in the arms and the oversize dark lenses could completely camouflage the fact that there is a camera and display behind the lenses.

    And the Jews are actively pursuing those prescriptions in the Old Testament against the native Palestinians.

    Funny how they advocate policies for White genocide here in the U.S. but actively pursue genocide against Arabs in the "promised" land. They are changing their laws to strip Israeli Arabs of their Israeli citizenship even as we speak.

    What a disgusting way to look at it. But remember, as infant nutrition improves, so will IQ. That should make you shiver in your (jack)boots.

    Not really. Even in the US with all its fat little pickaninnies and a healthy dose of Caucasian genes, black IQs still only manage to average 85. That leaves them with an almost nonexistent right tail above IQ 120 in the intelligence bell curve.
