So yeah, it's fun and novel for a few minutes, but not much more. I'm more excited by some better use of frame mounted displays like the oculus however.
Using something like Google Glass would probably drive me crazy. I wonder how (and if) Google Glass users can get productive work done. Do you wear Glass while you do things such as coding?
If you don't want the disadvantages of a display and what you care about is the video recording use-case, feel free to check out my product Epiphany Eyewear. http://www.epiphanyeyewear.com?design I know self-promotion is frowned upon and I'm sorry for that, but manufacturing & programming this product is all I do 15 hours a day x 7 days a week, so at this point it's my whole life and I feel like this is a relevant op…
Or you could not wear it for 8 hours a day. I wear my glasses for half that amount and I get headaches, to wear it everywhere is insane. I'd figure it would be more of a situational thing than anything.

Pre-order? Do you have a product yet or just a landing page?
We're shipping now but we're cranking through a long backlog. An order placed now will take 4 or more weeks for us to fulfill. I'm actively working on optimizing our assembly line but this is still an ongoing process.
I don't like wearing them if I have a headache already, but they don't cause me to have one. My headache with them is other people.
If someone is sitting next to me glancing at my smartphone screen, it's usually not a big deal. But if they might be recording my screen, that's more likely to be a big deal. Even though it can be a mix of perception and reality, I think privacy issues are the root cause of the discomfort with these devices.
This is the kind of headaches I thought were being talked about when I saw the title.
I think CNET is just looking for attention out of a non-issue, I've done interviews with them about Glass before (I won't bother linking, they don't deserve any more attention) and I felt then (and see in this article too) a desire to just dig up any morsel of controversy without a real appetite for balanced reporting. Specifically while being interviewed they dug for red meat that could confirm people's negative suspicions and in my case I had nothing negative to say and they still tried to spin it that way. I had to fight to get them to quote me accurately and they still refused to change blatant misquotes that served their narrative, I can't really emphasize how frustrating it is to have someone twist your words around to try to get a few more people to click on their post.
Tips for anyone doing tech press interviews: choose your outlet wisely (it wastes a lot of time fixing a poorly written article), refuse to do interviews that aren't recorded (either video, audio, or over email) as they will "hear" what they want, and insist on seeing a draft before they publish as a condition to the interview.
