GoogleGlass has some valuable dedicated applications, but I don't see it succeeding as a consumer interface for Google apps. It could revolutionalize industrial inspection and sports training.

Huge consumer market for a discreet cloud-based, hands-free DVR, though.

The next Google Glass owner who winks at you may actually be taking your picture.
New code cooked up by Google Glass developer Mike DiGiovanni enables the wink gesture in the high-tech specs.

If you look at a person, Google Image search will give you their name, address, etc. Pretty creepy, actually.

That is hilarious.
