Even if you did, you can unauthorize the phone with the FindMyiPhone service. Then be up and running with another iPhone as soon as you get one, rather than waiting to get another CC through the post.
This really does appear to be the most secure and user friendly payment system of all the options.
I'm not so sure.
1) You wouldn't be able to go edge to edge with the screen if you needed a camera in the front.
2) Aiming a camera at your face when it's strapped to the back of your wrist might not be the most comfortable or easy thing to do for the entire length of a video call.
3) The camera angle would be similar to the view you get of your dentist. Right up the nostrils. That's not anybody's good side.
There was a news story today of a police force in a small Michigan town with one full-time officer requesting and being given 13 assault weapons with grenade launchers.
America is full of gun nuts that want guns when there is no rational need for them, only more danger for themselves and those around them. It's not surprising that a disproportionate percentage of these gun nuts join the police.
People extend their fingers for many purposes all day every day. But extend the middle finger skywards in someone's direction and they will take offense. Civilisation is more complicated than allowed for in your post.
Autism is one possible reason for not being able to understand why staring or interacting with another person whilst wearing a camera and a monitor on your face is offensive. Perhaps we shouldn't be calling autistic people "Glassholes". But we should certainly continue pointing out when their behaviour is offensive.
Which places and events are you referring to? The recent beheadings by ISIS were about statehood or politics, not religion - US journalists, and people accused of spying for Israel. Similarly the people the US kill in the middle east with drones, missiles and guns are about statehood and politics, not religion.
Well, and the benefit of putting up with Google Glass, cell phone cameras, and the like is that you can actually venture out in the street.
Sure. But that doesn't mean that we have to treat Google Glass users as civilised human beings. We can treat them with contempt just like any other people who don't have manners.
What about all those security cameras all over the place? That dash cams people put in their cars? The traffic cameras local councils use? The red light/speed cameras?
Happy, happy, ambivalent and ambivalent respectively. And distinctly unhappy about the prospect of someone talking to me whilst wearing a camera on their face. Not all camera contexts are equal.
Hopefully most people are sensible enough not to text whilst driving. And if there is a statistic, we should be careful about interpreting it - texting whilst stationary in a queue would be classified as texting whilst driving, but the serious accidents caused by texting whilst driving happen when the car is moving at a significant pace.

And then people can ask "Have you got the time on you, cock?"

It's not that it's frightening, its that it's offensive. In the same way that raising the middle finger to someone is offensive.
