The whole "zomg it haz cameruh muh privazies"-thing is BS anyway. I'd bet a huge amount of money that most of the people yelling about it post about their whole life on social networks like madmen and -women, so yeah, please tell me how privacy is important for you. But I can't prove that. So here's another thing: Every fucking smartphone has a camera. If you want to covertly film someone, just pretend you're checking emails or something. If you have an Android with root access you can just delete one soundfile and you won't even hear the camera-click; I'd imagine it's pretty much the same with jailbroken iOS devices. Nobody gives a shit if you take out your smartphone, it's not a suspicious activity. Still think someone's gonna notice? Here, have one of the bajillion spy pens you can get for under 50 bucks on Amazon. So yeah, tell me how the camera in Google fucking Glass is such a huge issue when it even quite visible switches on a bloody LED when the camera is active so you at least know you're being filmed. People are stupid.

I think the most glaring thing about it was the extreme exclusivity "invite only" crap they did. Just develop it internally until it's ready to be sold as a consumer items, then announce it and sell it immediately. If you announce a product, tell people it'll release in two years, then delay it another and make USA- and invite-only, then do a more public release another year later, nobody's gonna give a shit about it anymore. Hype-train's already left the station. In the meanwhile, envious people will just tell themselves again and again how they don't need it and the other people that already have it are (gl-)assholes anyways. I can think of two other Google products that had staggered launches. Google Wave and Google+. Wave? Useful, but scrapped after three years. Google+? Yeah, limit the number of people on your social fucking network, that'll convince them to come over and drop Facebook. Come on, Google, learn from your past.
