- jrockway 15y agoIt's worth noting that Google devices typically do not need to be rooted. For example, Chromebooks have a switch you flip if you want root. (And, Google even advertises AdBlock in the Chrome Web Store. So it's not certain that you will be forced to see ads in Glass.) It's the cell-phone carriers (or OEMs) that want to sell you non-rooted devices, and that's a battle even Apple hasn't won.

- groby_b 15y agoI'm fairly certain that being dead will have exactly the intended effect here - no more real-life ads and billboards :)
