What I don't get: In a time when we are very aware of government tracking programs we are being asked to strap a GPS and camera to our heads so that Google can track us constantly?

Agreed. I was ambivalent about Glass before Snowden's leaks. Now there's absolutely no way. Glass is little more to me now than a white-labeled data front-loader for the NSA. Which is a shame in a way. If Glass turns out to be compelling it might have been the reason for me to sign up for a Google account. Now, no way.

  Tin foil much? Just wait until someone puts Linux on it (i.e. not Android).

    Seriously? The one thing that all the "tin foil" people were talking about for decades is finally proven beyond a shadow of a doubt - and you're still going to refer to them in a derisive tone?

Is that really any different than carrying around a cell phone all day?

  I don't have my cellphone camera pointed at everything I'm looking at. As an experiment, you could hold your cellphone up and point the camera at people you talk to and see how many like it. Sneaking a peak a woman's bosom could have more serious consequences than her saying "my eyes are up here."
