~$50 build and shipping cost

this number is way off. IHS estimates $152 to build (http://press.ihs.com/press-release/design-supply-chain/google-glass-far-more-sum-its-parts-ihs-teardown-reveals), but I'm going to guess closer to $200 due to yield and manufacturing challenges. anyway with their NRE expenditures they probably made little to no profit on these things.

china doesn't really like either, they just want anorexic girls

though between the two they'd definitely prefer boobs because butts implies fatness

another thing with china is that, iirc, boobs are sort-of taboo zone in society, so it gets more traction
putting legs up for a display is fine, so anything that is long enough to cover butt is fine
putting breasts up for a display, even as mild cleavage, is no no, unless you want to be pelted with stones or something

it probably varies by area but in the (rich) coastal provinces you'll see about as many bikinis on the beaches as here

although they're incredibly paranoid about darkening skin so you see some burqa like swimsuits

boobs are just front rear end. all other mammals get aroused looking at butts. humans just evolved a "front butt"

keeping their front page ad and clutter free is one of the most amazing exercises of restraint and judgement in the tech industry. any other company would have immediately poo poo all over it. there's a lot of things to fault Google for, but this is not one of them.

We have just announced on the Official Google Blog that we will soon retire Google Mobile (the actual date is July 1, 2016). We know Google Mobile has a devoted customer base who will be very sad to see it go. We’re sad too.

I used to think google had a masterful strategy, and they would combine all of the pieces they're buying and building into a cohesive product offering. I'm now convinced that they have no loving clue what they're doing, it's just idiots with money dicking around.
