It’s been over two years since Google’s early attempt at wearable augmented reality blew up in their face. In 2015, Google finally had to admit that Google Glass in its then-current form wasn’t going to work as a consumer device after receiving tons of blowback about the unsettling idea of someone staring at you with […]
The writing was on the wall when it couldn’t catch on at even the techiest of tech conferences, but it’s official now—Google Glass, in its current form, is about to join the Apple Newton, the Nintendo Virtual Boy, and Google Wave on the technological trash heap. Google has announced that it will stop sales of […]
Google Glass, since its unveiling, has been harangued by more criticism than most gadgets. It’s been derided as geeky, labeled a distraction (especially to drivers), and dismissed by many as superfluous. Well, add one more to the list—a new study shows Glass could also obstruct your peripheral vision. A Men’s Health report cites a study […]

Well, I guess this was inevitable. The cops are taking Google Glass out for a spin, in what I suppose is the first, ever-so-slight step towards RoboCop becoming a reality.

The future of sex has arrived, and it will be made to the sensual sounds of two Google Glass eyepieces clacking together feverishly.
Some people indulge their midlife crises with botox, others with convertible cars or travel. Mine, true to form, was plunking down enough money for Amex to put a stop on my card, and join the elite ranks of augmented reality wearing Google Glass-ers . (Yes, Glassholes to many).
