i know they released a revised version, but they aren't hyping it like they used to

they put tony fadell, aka "the guy who yells at people until they make broken smoke detectors" in charge of it but he resigned in june so I'm sure the project is in excellent shape

social media/collective internet made fun of it how douchey it looks, and all the glassholes were getting made fun of so they canned it

it's a bar that caters to the counterculture punk crowd, at least as much as such a thing can exist in sf any more. google glass is an obvious symbol that you're one of the wealthy yuppie billionaire crowd, historically the punk's greatest enemy

i would compare it to having gauged ears and a faux-hawk and riding your hoverboard into a run-down boston sports bar

I thought it ended up getting no functionality development so it was basically a face mounted camera with an hour of battery life that was heavy and looked dumb and cost as much as two new phones.

ok there is a browser sort of. but it's bad and useless because u can just google a thing and view it, scrolling is done by sliding along the touchpad, and you can't click links or anything.

oh yeah to click a link on a page you touch two fingers to the touchpad and move your head around to point a crosshair at the link. it's so bad.
