Brin sees Google glasses hitting market this year

AFP - Sergey Brin envisions Google's Internet glasses hitting the market this year with an eye toward freeing people from unsocial habits engendered by "emasculating" smartphones.
Because nothing liberates you faster from an emasculating smartphone than dork eyeglasses...
Brin spoke of inspiration behind Google Glass eyewear during a brief appearance Wednesday on stage at a TED Conference known for an inspiring mix of influential big thinkers and "ideas worth spreading.

He playfully demonstrated his point on stage by ignoring a theater audience to stare down at his smartphone, saying he was intent on a message from a Nigerian prince need of $10 million dollars.

"I like to pay attention because that is how we originally funded the company," the Google co-founder quipped about a well-known scam.

A video intended to capture what it feels like to use Glass was online at googlecom/glass/start/..

Probably not a good idea resulting in a lot of coffee being spewed across the cubical/lunch table at work.

#5  I wear a pair of prescription goggles when viewing the Burg. Not only do they keep spewed coffee out of my eyes, but more importantly, they keep me from poking my own eyes out when I read an article about Obama.

#4  At least the monitor stops the spew when you hit a good one on the 'Burg. Not sure how that would work out with the Glass, it could be really embarrassing and possibly life threatening in some locations.

#2  People will now be emasculated by dork eyeglasses. People now have their noses buried in their smartphones; soon their attention will be buried in there eyeglasses. Heads-up displays have have been around around a long time relative to new developments. This is just a different application of an old technology.
