what is MSM ?
MSM stands for MainStream Media. It’s sort of another way to say “the media”.

#12The current resolution of Glass is like 640x360 correct? When they hit around 3840×2160 I would be able to use them as a primary display. That would have some interesting possibilities.
Re: The Unexpected Rebirth of Google Glass
#13This was a pretty solid history write-up for Glass. I still remember when it debuted and I got a test pair to wear for a while as part of the pilot program. I honestly think we're going to see Augmented Reality (AR) devices go through the same steps and backlash that Google Glass received until it finds the right place/industry to be used. Right now that's looking like education and design, but I could be wrong. Glas…
It's not as slam-dunk for medical applications as you might think. There will always be trade-offs that have to be made to shrink a device into a package as small as Glass.

More and more i feel that focusing on consumer use of tech is a wild goose chase. How much tech do someone actually need while not working? If your social life is such that you need an itemized calendar etc to deal with it all then it is a second job.
For those of us that are two working parents with children, yes, yes we do. It is a second job, but one that isn't cleanly separable like a normal job. Shared calendars, Todo lists, spreadsheets and docs are a godsend.

#15Hardly unexpected. This was what the team was initially envisioning while developing, until Brin walked in and decided that if MSM wanted to liken him to Tony Stark he would give them a Tony Stark moment. This the whole massive and flashy intro of a piece of tech that was never meant for joe on the street usage.

I always read it as “men who have sex with men” and it makes the comment so much more interesting.

Have you worn Glass? You'd never use it as your primary display. Its a glanceable notice area.

As Gavin Belson said in the Silicon Valley pilot: "All these guys are like that, they're all about consumer facing."
You would expect a behemoth corporation to know better than a 20-something startupper, but still.
