While the first part of this article couldn't decide whether it was directed toward technical or non-technical audience, second part about security implications of such an easy way to get root was definitely thought-provoking.

While I was super-eager to get Glass before, it really got me wondering if having camera and microphone in your glasses is such an great idea after all.

Yes it's a great idea. Microphones are already a standard part of widely accepted headphones/headsets. Cameras aren't as accepted yet but they will be, whether that's in 2015 or 2025 is the 64 billion dollar question.

Well, I'm glad you have the answer :P

I agree with your statement that cameras will be accepted in the future, but I'm not sure it follows that it's a great idea.

On the other hand, I'm not even convinced cellphones and facebook are great ideas, so my life is probably not representative. (Now get off my lawn.)

It would be interesting if there was some way to pop the camera/microphone off so that Glass could still give you notifications, just not collect input. Would solve a few problems.

paper and sticky tape should sort the camera out nicely.

And look mighty attractive on your face.

your phone has both, specially the microphone is always with you in possible working condition, if not the camera that could be blinded in your pocket.
