I can top that!


As far as I am concerned, it should be legal to use a baseball bat on anyone using Google Glass in your vicinity without your consent.

So you'd prefer people to be walking around with cameras that you don't see ?

Also, the goverment commercials about not using social media while driving(what, I'm not allowed to phone when driving?


That's pretty much how its done in America, rightly so. Indeed it's illegal to use hands-on phone or texting while driving.

It's really not that big a deal. People drove for literally one hundred years without the capability.

Oh and this happened last week in San Fran:

Absorbed device users oblivious to danger

"A man standing on a crowded Muni train pulls out a .45-caliber pistol.

"He raises the gun, pointing it across the aisle, before tucking it back against his side. He draws it out several more times, once using the hand holding the gun to wipe his nose. Dozens of passengers stand and sit just feet away - but none reacts.

"Their eyes, focused on smartphones and tablets, don't lift until the gunman fires a bullet into the back of a San Francisco State student getting off the train."


Great. Now lets overlay some crap over the vision so all the Entitled Idiots can't even begin to see reality when they look up.

Count me out.
