Microsoft's current strategy with everything seems to be: "me too! me too!!!"
As was pointed out elsewhere, this was applied for a year before Google Glass was shown at all.

However, patents versus material commitment are very different. The latter requires some effort.

I'm curious if you're arguing that Microsoft shouldn't hedge their risk to Google Glass taking off by building a competitive product? There are certainly a bunch of areas where Microsoft are also innovating (see Microsoft Research).
I'm not convinced anyone should be developing this product.

Hehe, I suppose that wont be hard in the nearby future (25 years). The glasses could have neuro-censors that would be in constant contact with key parts of both sides of the brain.
Neuro-censors... you mean like this guy? http://vimeo.com/46304267 ;)

#27It only shows that Microsoft calls dibs on this newfangled idea of wearable display. I don't see any invention described there. Rather just an idea.

Re: Microsoft is developing a Google Glass competitor
#30Am I the only one who thinks Google Glass is a bad idea? We already trusted our virtual life to google (emails, what we do, etc). Are we sure that we are ready to trust our real(physical) life too? Don't get me wrong... It seems like a cool project but I wouldn't use it, maybe I am getting too old :/
What I wouldn't trust in this future is the Government to have easy access to this data, to see everything I've been watching and doing, and passing new laws to access this data even without warrants.
To me that's orders of magnitude scarier than a company using the anonymized data to send me more relevant ads on web pages, on which I'll probably still be able to use Adblock.
