Security → Google Glass: The opposition grows

"Stop The Cyborgs" is a new site that attempts to bring a balanced trepidation to the unbalanced idea that we'll all be walking round with Google's outer brain strapped to our faces.

Well if I point a smartphone at you you'll know I'm taking pics. If I look at you you may not.

(All of which is discussed, at length, in the thread I posted the link to above).

Ummm... why do people object to Google Glasses? Is this like the sneering that went on when people first got cell phones? And when people first got smart phones?

So your argument is about product design?

I don't see how it's diff than having a smart phone with you.

Glasses are now a recording device so the wearer can record you (without your knowledge or consent) then upload it to EweToob. I consider that a privacy issue but obviously many don't.

Google Glass doesn't create anything -

Ban shoe cameras!

No longer is that the case. Glasses are now a recording device so the wearer can record you (without your knowledge or consent) then upload it to EweToob. I consider that a privacy issue but obviously many don't.

If you're doing something that will be 1) Embarrassing or incriminating and 2) is interesting enough to be posted on YouTube,

If you're doing something that will be 1) Embarrassing or incriminating and 2) is interesting enough to be posted on YouTube,

then perhaps you should ask yourself if you should be carrying out that type of behavior in public (or period).

Will it potentially be abused? Yes, but there are laws for that.

Oh no you don't. This blame-the-victim mentality has to stop.

...and the watermarking of all images created by the glasses.
