People have the right to wear whatever they want. I do not condone the way a few glass explores went about expressing their frustration with the restaurant. However, I do understand their frustration with the paranoia serrounding Glass. This technology is everywhere . If someone wanted to record you, they wouldn't need Glass to do it, they could use the multitude of devices already out there and without you ever knowing about it. This fear of Glass has more to do with the people making the complaints. They are uncomfortable with how they appear to others either because of their own behavior or self perception. Glass just happens to make that fact clearer than it would otherwise appear. You are in a public space people are already looking at you, if you are uncomfortable being in your own skin than maybe you should reevaluate why Glass makes you so uncomfortable.Rationalmindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743678369889934199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-79799021470084061792014-06-12T23:38:02.504-04:002014-06-12T23:38:02.504-04:00Ok.

Let me simply put aside your very general assumption that all Google Glass wearers are "Glass-holes" and focus solely on what the device is actually able to do and how it affects you the other person in public... You ready for this? It doesn't. You're anologies are outlandish. Not only is glass not invading a single bit of your privacy, but also it is simply outrageous for you to be so "attack ready" at someone only because they are wearing Glass. 99% of explorers could give 2 shits (excuse the language) about recording you eating. We simply don't. We don't care. Get over it. It would be like you ordering to leave your restraunt because my jacket has stripes rather than plaid and you don't like having stripes near you. Glass is not just a recording software and peice of technology. It is instead an amazing peice of tech that allows you to search the web, communicate with people much easier, experience the real world and the tech world in cohesion.... With a camera on the side if you'd like to use it. It isn't set to record 24/7. Are you so abrasive to someone pointing a cell phone's back to you? If not then why are you with glass?

It was *their* President that sent us down our current path of universal surveillance, detention without charge, and government data mining, but they sure kept their stupid mouths shut when their guy was in charge. Suddenly on January 20 2009 they all of a sudden noticed all this shit going on and refused to take any responsibility for their own part in it.<br /><br />I can't walk down a public street these days without a government OR private business camera recording my every move, but these ignoramuses are complaining about a private citizen with a camera on their face? You should be thankful you can actually see the camera. Here's a protip for the troglodytes: ANYONE ACTUALLY TRYING TO FILM YOU SECRETLY WON'T HAVE AN OBVIOUS, VISIBLE CAMERA, IT WILL BE HIDDEN AND YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW IT'S THERE. That technology has been around for nearly half a century at this point. Never mind smartphones. Cameras in glasses frames, cameras in pens, cameras in CAR KEY FOBS for chrissakes. Unless you're home, and perhaps even if you are, most of the people reading this probably have a camera filming you RIGHT NOW.<br /><br />But yeah, take your insecurity out on the person with the new technology completely out in the open, because it's smart humans who fear everything new and ignore everything old that is doing the exact same thing.Romulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065782851995490502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-17068012204512246452014-05-27T15:00:59.994-04:002014-05-27T15:00:59.994-04:00Spending $1,500 on the latest techno-bauble, and n...Spending $1,500 on the latest techno-bauble, and not able to flaunt it around?

BS. You're obviously recording with a cell phone. Glass...it's a little trickier, especially as there's a significant cadre of creeps who've disconnected the LED. Mine stays connected as I occasionally need to record where I have explicit legal authorization to do so. <br /><br />For the record, you don't have explicit authorization to do so within any business. Glasshole shouldn't be and isn't a protected class. <br /><br />The issue here rests squarely on the Glass user. You can behave and be awesome...or you can be a Glasshole. When you choose that path, you're being a jerk, but you're also making us all look bad. When you get your little Glasshole posse to write fake reviews, you're being a jerk and a whiny baby. <br /><br />As for Feast, I'll make sure to drop y'all some ducats next I'm in the city. With my Glass in my purse, where it belongs when a restaurant or other business asks you not to use them. I'm sorry about the Glassholes, but please don't let their bullying (which Google knows damn well about and should fix by deleting fake reviews, btw) let you waver in your commitment to what your diners want.<br /><br />A little bit of low-tech human kindness goes a long way. It seems the Glasshole that started this landslide has none, but it's never too late to learn.

No the people shouldn't have posted all those bad reviews because of her. However how is wearing those really such a bad privacy concern. Anyone could do far more with their cell phone than Google glass in terms of invading privacy or whatever excuse they come up with. <br /><br />If I were to wear them people could freak out like in this story but no one would say one word if I held my cell phone up and recorded a couples whole meal I no one would know the difference.

It seems like a perfect way to take other shots without being noticed, including down blouse, side boob, camel toe shots while sitting on a bus or subway, and for those Glass users with their heads up their asses, butt shot selfies.<br /><br />The issue is not just about privacy, but about asking for permission, and about displaying good etiquette towards those who are just not as technologically advanced as your species. <br /><br />When out in public wear them all you want, but if a business or facility has a policy against recording or wearing them, it's best to just comply and the dispute is over. And don't go on Yelp to whine about it,that just creates more problems for everyone.<br /><br />In time the GoogleBrainChip will be recording all our thoughts anyway, but for now its best to be polite until we simple people can get used to the idea.
