Google glass was widely hated for this with the term “glasshole” floating around the news at the time. But it was also never sold as a consumer product so most people never even saw one.

You’ve just reminded me of something.

One of the div heads where I was working bought a (pair of?) Google Glass to figure out if there was anything useful we could do with them or develop for them.

He was trying them out and a colleague of mine wandered over to him and said something like, “ok Google, image search, pictures of dicks.”

Never has anyone whipped something off their face so fast. However, sadly, despite I believe it should have worked like a charm, for reasons that are now obscure to me no gallery of phalluses was displayed.

The only thing Google Glass was good for is checking e-mail. It would overheat and shutoff if you tried to record more than a few seconds of video or anything with real-time graphics.
