Yeah. I got tossed for wearing pearls before 5 pm. Rough crowd.
I would say there is a fundamental difference here. Yes, I can video you with my cell phone, or a camera, or a video camera.
But in all those cases, it is pretty obvious. I’m pointing a recording device at you. And that means that I could feel socially bound. Other people would know I was recording you. You would know. If you objected, others might start telling me to stop. Social pressure keeps us from just violating other people’s privacy in that way.
But with google glasses, it is the glasses you wear. They are not always recording, but could be, and you’d never know if they were recording or not. And so the entire time a person is in a room, they could be recording. And so, whenever that person turns to look at you, it is like they are pointing a camera at you.
And it is perfectly reasonable that someone would say “please stop pointing your recording device at me”, but how do you stop looking in that direction?
In this case, a fight had broken out, and people were thinking she was running around filming it, because she was watching it.
So, it started with someone verbally objecting to being filmed, but then her companion decided to start a fight by hitting someone.
So the story could be "woman's companion picks bar fight, woman gets her glasses taken in scuffle".
But it is going to have to be completely invisible and undetectable, streaming all of your content to a private, secure server. Imagine the terror of the State's organs when they realize that every single thing they do, and every sleazy back room deal they make might be recorded and broadcast to the world with a discreet tap of a button.
They try to take away our privacy, but they are the ones who need it - and cannot operate without it.
All I could think of was “Chicken Wire?”
From Blues Brothers.
Yeah, that had occurred to me too. Who in his right mind would want a camera streaming to the Internet? Uh...me.
Nice one!
Her website (I posted the link upthread) indicates she has a degree from Berkeley in "Comparative Literature". So she's qualified to be a bartender, maybe, LOL.
She’s not a particularly...handsome...woman, is she?

I can buy a 10 dollar MP3 player with a record function and put it in my pocket and record every conversation I have without anyone knowing it, they also make glasses that have built in video cameras that you wouldn’t notice at all.
In a way i would rather deal with google glasses as we KNOW what they are or might be doing vs. someone who have the covert type gear on them.
Good point you made.
Damb...iron workers making a good living in that ‘hood.
You usually know when someone is recording you with a cellphone.
So you're saying it's OKAY to assault a person wearing google glasses in public, perhaps a movie theater, but not holding a cellphone in public?
Pens and buttons have had hidden video cameras for YEARS at the consumer level.
A pair of “glasses” doesn’t make one bit of difference.
Needs a lot more lipstick. Still might not make a difference.
I predict less people will be going to bars as this has caught on.
They should rename them “Carrie Nation Glasses”
First no smoking and now Google Glass.
Is there an investment way to short the bar trade?
