Working at Google sounds like a Fun time, where you can explore your inner child--and learn how to make money on ads. I know all the Google employees are geniuses, but a genius without the right guidance(Scientitists--who could care less about advertising, just the scientific method) might end up just doing what Google rewards them for--making money. I applaud Google for letting us use their API's, but I feel restrictions are coming, along with fees. I'm not a huge fan of google for one reason; they ruined my Privacy. By the way, you can get off Google street view by telling them you have security concerns--at least for now. The minute DuckDuckGo gets a little better--bye to my back stabbing friend--Google. And yes those Google glasses will make some people angry(in kid's speak--you just might get a drink thrown at you, and no--even if they start to make them look like EMO Glasses, some people don't like their picture taken without their permission.)

Sadly the days of asking for permission are long gone. Every day we're recorded on dozens of CCTV camera, car dash-cams (and similar worn by bikers / cyclists), traffic cams, police severance cameras (in larger urban towns / cities) and so on. You can't walk into a single shop nor office without being recorded. you can't even talk a walk outside, nor a drive, without the chance of being recorded. I'm not saying it's right, but that is how it is these days.

  You can blur your face with LEDS if cameras are your major concern. Someone should make some stylish hats.

Google is definitely moving the direction of Twitter with their APIs. They are becoming very locked down. In the recent Android Wear release, for example, notifications have always supported a thing called RemoteViews - a way to put buttons and the like in a remote process like a widget and a notification. Android Wear intentionally strips out everything but text and icon, however. I wish we still had the old Google who would have let us have powerful APIs and said, well, users will rate up apps that do or don't do good things. Proof by data. Instead we have another Twitter. I hope they don't start having bots analyze all the API users and kill ones due to robotic misclassification like happened to many of my Twitter API apps. Or user token limitations like killed so many more Twitter apps, geh. I guess they do do both already, though. If I open a bunch of tabs in Google Groups quickly, I get banned because they think I'm a robot. My Google Apps for business accounts got made non-free and charged for each user now...
