    These people are going to get mugged really easy, even if they know Kung Fu.
    I suppose they can contact a hospital via the internet before they lose too much blood.

    I wear glasses so I can't wear google glasses on top of them, that's racist - I smell a lawsuit coming.

    As someone who has worn glasses for twelve years, when they were announced I thought they were brilliant. But this September I decided to get laser and now I'm thinking after all the money I spent to not have to wear glasses, why would I fork out more money to put the frames back on. But I do admire them as a innovative product.

    I like them. It means I'm one step closer to finally getting a HUD.
    Will it shows my hp? They will only get better looking in time, like electric cars. Look crappy now but one day they will have their tesla s too.

    Thing about them is they are valuable, more valuable than a smartphone. But a smartphone can be hidden, in your pocket, jacket, àrse, wherever. Plenty of places or situations I can think of not wanting my smartphone to be on display, but luckily, it's easy to hide.

    You certainly won't be able to stick your Google glasses up your àrse in a hurry.

    I'd like them for when I'm on a bike trip.. Maps, taking videos and checking weather without stopping.

    Apart from that, this is the start of something amazing. If you check what Samsung can do with bendy glass, then it shouldn't be too long before they look pretty much the same as normal glasses with the hardware along the temples.

    Goggle glasses especially if you have sensitive eyes!

    Why not staple a 'mini iPad' to your face and be done with it, any excuse to use your brand-new 'Hilti Gun'.

    I have a pair of novelty sunglasses that are wider than normal on the outsides. The inside of the 'extra' glass is silvered on the inside, so you can see what's behind you like a rearview mirror. A drunk guy in the pub wanted to buy them for €100 (no kidding), but I was too nice to take advantage of him...

    Not your ornery onager

    Everyone should give this a read, a very good insight to an objective person using Google Glass.

    Deeply upset and saddened by the poll which shows that one in four think that these ghastly glasses are cool. Shocked with some of the names associating themselves with this product. Particularly upset with sarky, biko and Gran Hermano. Old enough to know better in fairness.

    Oh, you're still alive.

    Gonna be interesting watching how they try to get this out there with so much resistance/hate for it already.

    Just thought of this now ... these should be called Elgoog glasses. I actually have two pairs. Anyone got a spare €100? :)
