I am Locutus of Google

There's no definite timetable for release, though the New York Times' Nick Bilton has said that Google employees will be testing these things in public this summer and that the first-generation Google glasses could be released by the end of the year.

Check it out here, because Resistance is FUTILE (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/04/project-glass-google_n_1403174.html?ref=uk-tech&ir=UK%20Tech).

Crazy man, crazy. Modern tech is awesome yet, in a way scary...not long before everyone will be linked to the web no matter where they are, or what they are doing.

True, technology is a two sided sword, But on the bright side; imagine a worldwide network of dudes abiding online with a literal connection with something like Google glasses? Far fucking out, man.

I guess what these glasses need is the Google Driverless Car:

Do you think Google had the car in mind when they created the glasses?
