It's the damn camera...
I've mentioned this before but gotta say it again... Go_ogle definitely screwed up by including a camera. Almost all of the anti-Google-Glass fervor for this otherwise interesting device is due to the inclusion of the 3rd eye. None of us want to be photographed or videoed up close and personal WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE or CONSENT. Obviously not only will many "Glassholes" abuse the feature but just think of all the perverts out there.
Amazingly the solution to the massive backlash is just too simple. All the boffins at the Chocolate Factory have to do to calm the fears of the great unwashed masses is to release a new version without this heinous spy feature. Of course, since Go_ogle's raison d'etre is to track all of our activities 24/7 that probably won't happen.
But there is such irony here. Just think about it for a second. We are all concerned with Glassholes spying on us but, in fact, the Glassholes themselves are really the intended targets. After all, each time they switch on the device they are being continuously tracked by Go_ogle. But when they switch on the camera... OMG... it allows Go_ogle to monitor them in a much more personal way because they can see what the Glasshole sees. Obviously that's why Google included the camera in the first place. It's damn scary when you think about it.
Google - The great Trojan Horse of the 21st century. And all this time we thought they were proudly proclaiming their mission to be: "DO NO EVIL". Sadly, we didn't listen correctly. In fact, they were saying they "DO KNOW EVIL". Run and hide!
