That means people are going to be interested in this thing. That means once guys realize what they can do with it, they'll just use it in any way possible to get laid. Or…
Google's been pushing its Project Glass hard lately, with Sergey Brin wearing a pair everywhere, and going so far as to call smartphones "emasculating." The space-age specs do seem pretty cool, but everyone's favorite Canadian cyborg Steve Mann told IEEE Specturm that he's concerned about its design. And he would…
There's a lot of really weird stuff that happens on any given day in New York City. Which is why I like to take the occasional day off during the week just to walk around and take in my surroundings. Take, for example, this random video shoot I came across of some grungy folks equipped with Google Glass in the Lower…

There's also the computer which is integrated into our clothing. We've fitness and health concepts that can provide bio-feedback, and others which can control your…
Apple has long been working on a Google Glasses-like heads up display, and have been granted a couple of patents already.
