macgasm.net, huh? They'll think it's creepy until Apple comes out with the iGlasses five years later, and then it'll be revolutionary.

You do understand the reason most people think it's creepy isn't necessarily that it's recording, but that it's recording and sending video to a company who's had so many run in's with privacy laws and wants to store as much information on a person as possible? Right? Not everything is about Apple vs Google.
Oh, I'm sorry, I should have attributed a higher level of journalistic integrity to a site called macgasm.net
Why's the name a problem? Aside from assuming it's a witty zing from an Apple loving fanboy that Google's new product is doomed, I can think of quite a few other sources that have been discussing Glass in terms of privacy in the same terms. Not everyone who likes Apple products hates Google, and vice versa.
you must read a lot of their work to know what level of 'journalistic integrity' the site operates on...
