i don't think it's a lib/repub thing. but I think that elitists love iphones. I'm not saying that apple is elitist, but i'm saying that there's a certian type of person out there who wouldn't be caught dead with a droid.
please spend some time thinking about your comment and the others on this thead. ask yourself, have i contributed to the universe being a better place through my contributions here? or have i not done so? what about my larger participation in the slashdot community? once you have pondered these things, please let me know what conclusions you come to (although I already know what you'll find).
I just saw a guy with GG on the street, so apropos of this conversation, I asked him, "do you know you look like a retard?" he looked at me but his eyes were so cross-eyed from the damn screen!
Because you're actually looking at an image of the screen reflected in a prism, and the prism is presumably also doing the refocusing so that - as far as your eye's focus is concerned - it's about eight feet away.
[citation needed]. i've never seen any lens / visibility effects here.
the only way to "trick" your eyes into thinking the focal depth is different than actual is to have two screens and offset them from optimum.
How do corrective lenses work, then?
fair enough! but GG isn't a lens, now is it? this might actually be a cool (yet scary) solution.
i fyou only have one screen like GG, it's always going to be 1 cm from your eye.
That doesn't mean you have to focus to 1cm to view it clearly. Hold something 1cm from your eye and try to focus on it (my previous advice not to try notwithstanding).
I tried it and I can't focus on it at all. how can I view a screen crisply enough to read it when i can't even focus on it?
High resolution display is the equivalent of a 25 inch high definition screen from eight feet away.
I take this to mean that the display actually appears to be eight feet away, so that's where you'd focus.
nobody said "high resolution display..." are you responding to your own phantom comment? btw you're wrong. the only way to "trick" your eyes into thinking the focal depth is different than actual is to have two screens and offset them from optimum. think the magic eye stuff. i fyou only have one screen like GG, it's always going to be 1 cm from your eye.
what difference does a higher resolution truly make? more time with your family? less eye strain? solution to world hunger..? or just marketing gimmicks to push upgrades and stock prices?
yes, less eye strain. for many of us this is a big blessing.
Eyes that are focused on the windscreen (remember, it's a UK story) will see the road clearer than ones focused on Google Glass a centimetre or so from the eye.
it's even more drastic than you say. eyes are focused on the car 100 feet away, then GG 1 cm away. attention nightmare.
Do you trust anyone else not to share your data with the NSA? If you do I have a bridge to sell you.
Not gonna lie, I wrote a pretty strident diatribe about how I'm cutting myself out of their loops, but I'm deleting it because I'm sure NSA is reading this thread. even if I post AC they would connect it with my account. I'm not going to do anything out of the ordinary so all my data will be available through existing channels: goog, MS, apple, verizon. also, why is it so cold in here? oh yeah, because of the chilling effect to the first amendment.
the reason it's called "jigsaw" is because they leave large chunks untouched, and they run without overhead. it's the jaggy lines that need to be resolved, but the burden is less than you think. is it better than macrovision? i say yes.

Do you know you sound like a sanctimonious dick?
i think you odnt know what that word means. perhaps you should look it up in your GG before next time?

give ME some booze and I'll stop fearing freaky cross mutated mammal/fish beasts!
I will REPORT YOU to editors FOR HARASSMENT
why do you keep replying? STOP REPLYING TO ME

Sounds like a good idea to me - ROLL IT OUT

that would only be true if there were screens on both eyes. here there is just a screen on one eye.
can't seem to edit my previous post..
you must be new here.

Let's be real: we're only a few short years from on-windshield HUDs for navigation, driving metrics, etc.
I said that in 1988. and 1992. and 1997. and 2003.
if only they would ban the glass at all times, everywhere. glassholes.
woosh

(note what happened to the Knights Templar when their destruction became convenient).
the assassins retook constantinople and venice?
He/she was probably referring to the restrictions being put inside those tablets, and probably some big brother-style tech embedded in them
... what, are they running iOS then?
