Many of the negative comments here remind me of the general discussions about tablets before the iPad was released. I'm not saying Glass will reach a similar level of success, but it is clear that a lot of people won't understand the benefits of a device like this until they actually use it.

Has to be tethered. Bigger than Ray-Bans. Lame.

Is this crowd really that young?

My comment was a play on Rob Malda's iconic criticism about the iPod in 2001: "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."
