What's funny about this site is that we all love personal surveillance when it helps us do things like bust animal abusers or discover dirty government secrets, but when people are publicly carrying their recording devices, we all feel uncomfortable.
Also this site talks about "glass free zones" and "surveillance free zones" and doesn't seem to acknowledge that they aren't the same thing.
If somebody wants to record what you're doing today, they don't need glass to do it. Why not make a big deal about devices that are actually undercover?
Maybe having these things so easily available will create an etiquette we don't expect and can't predict.
I feel like once Glass actually delivers, it will play out as really nothing special in these scenarios, and we'll realize it in short order. All this talk before it gets here about surveillance and privacy violations, not actually knowing how its used or how buyers will want to use it, or what its most popular applications will be; all that is FUD.
