Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,319 Posted March 31, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted March 31, 2013 Evernote (just Skitch?) launching with Glass. http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/11/4091426/google-teases-path-skitch-new-york-times-on-project-glassIf you have a few hundred extra dollars burning a hole in your pocket, no fear of public derision(I think the glasses look fine, but some people really have strong opinions against them), and an interest in Lifelogging, then Evernote + Glass might be the way to go.

Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,319 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Level 5* Share Posted March 31, 2013 Google says smartphones emasculate us, so I guess we hipsters are already being ridiculed. What difference are glasses going to make, I wonder. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,656 Posted March 31, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted March 31, 2013 Nice to be able to look at someone and get a brief bio (and a name reminder) - not so good if you're supposed to be on a mission and get distracted to the pub. Can you get editable backgrounds for inopportune calls? Plus I think the rest of the people in the pub might be a bit nervous that their picture might put them in the wrong place - scope for a bit of techno-bashing, unless the pub already banned Glasses for that sort of reason. More of a difficult decision for me I think. I want them, but I'm a devout coward... Link to comment

I read Snow Crash when I was a kid, and so I pretty much expected something like this in my lifetime. Neo-Luddites will raise a stink at first, but in a few months it will die down. Our UK users know all about Big Brother cameras (the most surveillance in the world?). I expect they'll lead the pack. Link to comment
Imagenomad 20 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 ... Our UK users know all about Big Brother cameras (the most surveillance in the world?). I expect they'll lead the pack. And yet if you're out and about with any camera larger than a ****** packet, you're assumed to either be a paedophile** or a terrorist. Cognitive dissonance much, Britain? EDIT: Wow. Evernote naughty word bot gets it completely wrong. * British English slang for cigarette ** Alternative spellings available Link to comment

And you never know how valuable those pictures of 'phone boxes* and taxis** might be to a foreign power... * large red*** structure enclosing a public telephone for making calls while its (usually) raining **cabs, right? *** the large blue one is for Doctor Who Link to comment
