      Wifi/3G/GPS Jammer: £125.

      Paintball gun: (no idea).

      Opening the hunt for Glassholes: priceless.

      For everything else, there is Mastercard

    Beta Invite

    I had gotten a beta invite a few weeks back. Kind of glad I did't have the cash to drop on one at the moment, if they're going to be ready for commercial launch soon with a cleaner look.

    Google Glass Mk2, a socket in your neck.

    Do you want the blue one or the red one?

    A fool and their money

    Are soon parted. How long until the next gadget comes along to make this $1500 farce redundant?

    Surely this was meant to be released on April Fool's Day?

    Because they can't possibly expect any sane person to fall for it?

    $1500

    about the same price as plebs pay for a subsidsed iPhone on contract over 24 months.

    So how come that's not getting ratted out on it's price?

      duh, because I'm using it as a PHONE and I receive phone calls and mobile data on it.

      Any phone, without service, is useless unless you're in your parents basement gaffling someone else's wifi.
