The author isn't very imaginative. He can't think of how he'd use it so the product must be shit. I ride a motorcycle. Having a HUD for navigation, weather alerts, and phone notifications would be awesome and make my life so much easier. I'm terrible with names. If Glass could do facial recognition of people I've met and tell me who they are it would greatly improve my interactions. Using it to augment lifting weight…
I've read that "the best camera is the one you have on you." If Glass is always on you, it will be the best camera you will likely ever own. All of those moments that last for just a few seconds are out of reach of even your ever-present cell-phone.
Here, try this - click here:
Once you click there, try to take a picture with your cell phone as quickly as you can, and then stop the timer.
I hope you didn't cheat - if your phone was in your pocket, you counted the time to get it out, if you have a PIN on your phone, you had to enter it.
I got about 11 seconds the first try, and 6 the second. Can you seriously not imagine that Glass would be better at capturing those random moments?

Why carry a phone when you are wearing Google Glasses? ;)
I know it is supposed to be funny but actually you need a phone for the data connection :)
Heck, keep the hotspot in a bag or make a wearable, unobtrusive hotspot belt or anklet, then the battery size & life can be increased while still having no gadgets in one's pockets. One could put a widrive on the belt/anklet too, so Glass becomes useful even without constant access to the cloud.

Btw Voice is not the only way to control glass. I'm not sure if voice can be eliminated altogether but that should be easy enough. So the second problem is actually not a problem.
It would be amazing if something similar to Leap were implemented. Imagine how cool it would be - you would simply point/click in the air with your finger where the interface elements were augmentally displayed to you. Granted, it would look incredibly stupid for the unknowing onlookers though.
So if you get a message notification on-screen you can read it and just think "back." Glass would interpret it as a swipe up on the touch or saying "back" by voice, and the message will be marked as read and the screen will turn off. I think voice commands are still very useful for what would be sequences like "Give me directions to the nearest Dunkin Donuts."

Using it while driving sounds dangerous!
