#3Interesting point about glasses in general. I wonder if there would be a market for small weights that attach to the arms behind the ears to make glasses feel lighter.

#4Oh, the text is a transcript. I was very confused to be looking at text saying "And here’s what it looked like." with no images in sight.

#5GMail and Google Now were also prototyped in one day, as was Linux. The hard part is the years of refinement that come after that.
I guess the lesson to take is that big working systems are built on small working systems. You don't get a big system by envisioning the final result, finding someone to fund you, and getting lots of people to build it for you. You take the smallest possible first step, see if it works, and then learn from it and expand it.

#7Seems a bit of a bother to use chopsticks and the fishing line contraption. Since it's to test what the user experience is just get another person to watch the users gestures and click or touch the computer that's powering the display to translate those gestures in to pre defined actions. Would let you test all sorts of crazy things.

that is something I must learn. (/does a Mae-Pae beard curl) lol.
Anyways on a serious note, I for some reason, feel that though google glass would be a hit product, the concept is still lacking something important. I don't know what, but for some reason, I don't see myself, sticking to it, beyond a certain period of time.
The Attention aspect is being overlooked as well, no matter how good it can make our life, it would still require a lot of attention from me, like a heavy mental application of sorts.

#10Sorry to go off topic, but interesting to see "subscribe via feedly" instead of Reader and "Notify me..." via email done through MailChimp (RSS to Newsletter) instead of Feedburner. Still makes me sad but good to see alternatives starting to be put out there.
