presumably you could do all that on a phone too, yet they havent....

  On a phone, you could ignore the ad, and there's limited screen space. On glass, you ARE going to see it, and the screen space is your entire field of vision. Edit: I think Glass actually solves a huge problem with mobile for FB/Google/MySpace/etc: displaying ads. Right now, they make virtually nothing from mobile users, which is a threat to their company as more people use their phones/tablet/etc to access the site. With more screen space, they would easily have room for non-intrusive ads, and ads similar to what is displayed on the desktop. So they should be able to fix their problem with mobile.

      The part you quoted clearly says it's a problem FOR fb/google/etc. They have acknowledged the problem repeatedly in the financial statements. Maybe try reading a little closer?

So poor FB and Google have a problem because they cannot fit 50 ads on the screen. What a shame, they cannot make another $10 billion a year. To solve their problem we will wear some cheesy glasses so we cannot escape ads. Get what I tried to say? The glass solves Google's ad "problem," if but only if enough users become Glassholes. But why should they? What problem do they solve for average Joe that cannot be solved by iPhone or Android or W Phone? None
