#2> (Spiegel argues that rectangles are an unnecessary vestige of printing photos on sheets of paper.)
It's also the shape of nearly all screens in the world. Perhaps I'm not visionary enough, but I don't foresee a circular computer or phone screen really improving the current situation...

#3Friday night media release? Surprising.

#4I'm into this! I think selling it as a toy is the right approach.

It's because it leaked out on YouTube earlier today. Probably best to get out in front of the story before everyone starts comparing it to Google Glass.

#7I think this is significantly better than what Google did with Google Glass.
It's better because it focuses on the one thing that is really easy to do well. It does not try to do everything at once. It doesn't try to give you apps in your glasses and everything under the sun. This is the right approach to products. Do one thing but do that well.
Before you criticize me think back to the original iPhone, it didn't start with an App Store and everything under the sun like the iwatch did. And yet the iPhone is an icon and the watch is no big deal.

And the associated Glasshole anti-marketing
Glasshole. That's like...the best derogatory slur in history. Captures so much in one word.

Of course, Glass took significant heat over the fact that it had a camera that you can record people without them knowing (except that it was quite obvious when Glass was 'on'). This thing appeals to have two cameras, and given that it just does video recording, it might be able to be on significantly longer.
I wonder if it has any privacy safeguards, like a red led indicating recording in progress?

It also doesn't look nearly as dorky as Google Glass did. Google Glass had the problem where it was trying to be an all-purpose life-enhancing thing that people would wear all the time, so it was trying to be both invisible and distinctive. This doesn't need to pretend to be something that you can forget you're wearing or something that you can pair with any type of outfit -- it has a strong sense of style, and it's easier to work cameras into a design that is loud than a design that is quiet.
