Not really, because now EVERYONE has a camera on their head, and all they have to do is say "Record" and suddenly the entire crime is caught on tape.

Why off to one side though? They could have put it more centered and balanced out the design a bit better as well as adding more space for the interface.

I guess that'd be for later models as they become more integrated into the frame itself.

What gave me away as a 'judgemental cavern-man'? Was it the fact that I referenced a cutting-edge nano-material?

I don't even have an iPhone yet. They're still at the stage where it's mostly trendy spankers who own them and sit flicking them and generally fething around with them instead of paying attention to their surroundings. When that changes I'll probably get one. I have an iMac at home and love it more than my son.


He has an iPhone, by the way.


Indeed. Our kids are mega high tech. GC is at the point where she's giving the wife her castoff tech, which is light years ahead of what we have. IPODs, laptops, smartphones. Me and the wife just have a cellphone with text capability. Thats about all I want in a cellphone because it light. I'm arlready carrying enough crap around, I feel like a fat cop sometimes.

Why goat porn though?

I once convinced an ex that a mate had goat porn. I thought I was being unique...Obviously not.

spoilered imaginary goat film list
Spoiler:

Goats
Goats in coats
Goats in boats
Goats in moats
Goats with Stoats
Asian Goats 4

To quote red dwarf - Hook, Line, Sinker, Rod and copy of angling times.

The google glass I'm not keen on. They just look dumb - like someone has had an accident, bent their glasses out of shape and can't afford repairs.
I like the idea of the tech though - although at $1500 or so, I'll stick to browsing on my phone.

Maybe when I consider the price reasonable...

Well met

I think the obvious application (well, obvious because it featured heavily in the past few Ghost Recon games) would be military, or also First Responders. I believe there was a tech demo showing a HUD for firefighters, complete with motion controls

I found this interesting
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20799344

Samsung and LG have pledged to deliver gadgets with flexible displays as early as 2013 - making handsets, tablets, even possibly TVs bendy and virtually unbreakable.

There will also be ties "that can charge an electronic device [and] clothes with a built-in music player"

Researchers in the US are also working on a shape-shifting device that uses magnets to mimic molecules that fold themselves into complex shapes
At the moment it is tiny and may not look like much, but in future it could form the basis for a real-life Transformer robot, autonomously reconfiguring itself to perform different tasks.
