Porn penetrates everything. I just can't wait to see what comes from it.

Cue the Beavis and Butthead laughter.

An app that, when the Glass figures out the name of the girl is that you just met at the coffee shop, automatically displays the nudie pics her angry ex boyfriend posted on the internet?

Calling it now.

Facial recognition software plus image search. The difficult bit is the initial "random face in the world -> definitive person ID" mapping part. Once you know who someone is, the game is over.

They might as well go stand in the ocean with a spoon and stop the tide from coming in...

Time to start a company called "Schmoogle" and sell your main product called "Schmass" for $499.

Google's official reply was "not true."

Dunno what the truth is, but I bet it took a lot of R&D to get there (OS/software and hardware).

But yeah, you're not getting me at $1500
It's not me, it's someone else.

I would find much joy in Special Forces using that software and the Pentagon shutting down Glass for sale to the public as a threat to national security.

There's been so much backlash that I think the only way this will hit broad adaption is with eyeball implants. Peeps will have it and you'll never know. As such, you'd better have it, too.

I don't think the tech is there yet.
