The "privacy concerns" the news focused on was mostly nonsense. It's pretty impossible to covertly record someone with Glass. Yet most people didn't realize the real privacy concerns... Google insisted on uploading Glass owners' photos to their servers without their permission.

I think uploading users' photos without their permission definitely counts as a privacy concern.

I'm still unconvinced by the form factor. Perhaps Google Fedora would be an easier sell?

Oh God, can you imagine the jokes? "Fedora guys" are an Internet joke already.

I actually loved the form factor, if it wasn't for the software, I'd still be wearing mine. As a prescription lens user to begin with, the majority of people I interacted with didn't seem to notice my Glass a lot of the time, and I forgot I was wearing it myself when I wasn't using it.
