How can you possibly say that you aren't willing to spend more than $200 dollars, but would wear it on your face every single day? People pay more than that for sunglasses which provide no functional utility above the $5 sunglasses.

#123Interesting he feels so strongly about that... but then again, he always kinda does. Not sure what to make of it. I used to follow Scoble's blog back when he was evangelizing for Microsoft, but he's abandoned his mediums so often and so vociferously that I sort of lost track. Is Google Plus his latest platform now? Personally, I'm consciously trying _not_ to get stuck with a single company's ecosystem, so a lot of th…
As far as G+ is concerned, I find Facebook much more useful than G+ for all intents and purposes (photos, groups, messaging, news, everything I find is either better or more useful on Facebook; more useful in the sense that my friends actually use it heh). YouTube has great content but the design has changed for the worse in my humble opinion. Maps is top notch. Really a modern day beauty. Calendar is pretty useful,…

I don't see that being much of an issue. When you're out in public, most expectations of privacy are gone anyways.
Yes, but you don't want every Tom, Dick and Harry to start photographing you either do you? How would you feel if where ever you went someone followed you with a camera pointed at you?

#125Some observations: From what he wrote it seems to me like he only gauged the reactions of technically-oriented people. Of course tech people are going to be pretty excited about this, more-so than the average Joe. He also seems to feel very very strongly about this. I don't think many people feel the same strength of opinion towards Glass. He's right about the price. If they could cut it down to subsidized-smartphone…

#126I appreciate this review, and I agree with him 100% on the price point. Had I been in the audience I wouldn't raise my hand till $200-300 either ($1500 is almost comically absurd). But at the same time, I'm gonna wait no matter what till it does more. A head mounted camera (which seems to make up the bulk of the advertising use-cases for it) just isn't important to me...at all. I think the head mounted navigation stu…
IMO, at that price point, the real question is "is it worth it to wear them and look like one of those guys that walks around with a Bluetooth earpiece in at all times"?

#127The only killer app I think is driving directions, that was nice.

That's because you're looking at Google+ wrong. Look at it more like an advanced Twitter. A much better Twitter, at least for organizing information, communities, and stuff like that.

Yeah I understand that but whats the point if the quality is not good. Good Idea. Poor execution.
The images on the article, like [1] have been downscaled to 480×354 px for the mobile site, then upscaled by your browser. The original can be accessed via the regular google plus interface [2] and downloaded as 2560x1888 px [3] The quality is in line with a phone camera.

Customers have had their information stream systematically filtered/impoverished by those who would rather not have the invisible hand of the market move in response to some subgroups' aggregate utility evaluations. Information at the point of choice can alter these dynamics.
