The next decade is going to be interesting if things like Google Glass become the norm.

#4I don't think this is creepy at all - in fact, this is how human vision works. Besides, the fact that the article's on a website called "Macgasm" doesn't lend much credence to the opinions expressed in it.

#5I understand the sentiment, but not really the direction of it. Why is Google Glass special here? We spend most of our public lives on CCTV already (seriously, we really do). Why is it more upsetting that normal people have access to this now instead of restaurants and stores and workplaces and public venues and...
I'm not saying there's no privacy issue here. I'm saying this ship has sailed. Why pick on Google and not your local convenience store?

#6"dug up by New Scientist"
I'm sorry, is this the same New Scientist that suggested (arguably hyped) a piece of technology that has no hope of working in the real world as a plausible replacement for other modes of transportation? OK, just thought I'd clear that up. Thanks for playing... next.
Note, for context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EmDrive#New_Scientist_article
This is no different than Google's "Try these too" feature when browsing for images.
When you're digging into NS for panic fodder, you know you're desperate. You know what else is creepy, follows us around, but we all take for granted? Voice recognition.

#7macgasm.net, huh? They'll think it's creepy until Apple comes out with the iGlasses five years later, and then it'll be revolutionary.

If Google put a light on the glasses that lights up whenever the glasses are recording, would you people stop acting like it's a big deal? A wearable computer with a heads-up interface is more than a spy camcorder.

I believe you're invoking the fallacy of grey here.
The Sophisticate: "The world isn't black and white. No one does pure good or pure bad. It's all gray. Therefore, no one is better than anyone else."
The Zetet: "Knowing only gray, you conclude that all grays are the same shade. You mock the simplicity of the two-color view, yet you replace it with a one-color view..."

Google Glass has the advantage that you can't tell if it's recording. "Don't worry, I'm not recording a video," they'll say. You can't accuse people of wearing glasses that may or may not record.
Similarly, when people use smartphones, they could be recording with the back camera, but people are okay with that. They assume no recording takes place simply because it's the more likely situation.
