The point of Glass isn't putting a powerful computer on your face (well, it's not the only point, anyway). It's Google and its Sum-Of-All-Knowledge apps. Who's gonna want a more powerful system if they can't use Google's maps on it?

Last time I checked you couldn't more without free software. How many closed-source pagers are there?

The idea's in the right place but I'd hesitate to let anybody with so ugly and poorly maintained a web presence as archive.org into the inner workings of my browser. Seriously, guys... get it together.

...as I read the acronym that the QR in it had nothing to do with QR codes. Oh well.

Came out for the desktop and everything else for that matter in 1995. Get with it, people.

It worked for IBM.

If I was able I would never install another OS outside of linux, but alas, I am not. There isn't a DAW (like Logic or ProTools) for linux. There just isn't. There probably never will be, what with the massive amount of varied hardware and plugin support necessary, and regardless, all my clients send me .ptx files. Applications still matter. Everything is not "moving to the browser" just yet. Word processing, perhaps. Games, why not. Pro audio/video? Not in this decade.

I am physically incapable of not saying SOMETHING here. Starcraft + Brood War is 20 dollars now, probably 10 used, and brand new was 40. That's six campaigns, count them, SIX. Not to mention that it was a traditional game that came on a physical CD, and one that let you LAN with a singly key. To break it down, 33% less got you at LEAST three times the campagin play of Wings of Liberty and 8 player local multiplayer for no extra charge. Did I mention that the storyline/cutscenes/characters in SC1 blew apart their replacements in Wings of Liberty? Yeah, they did. With a damn arclite shock cannon.

I don't know about his futurism, but damn, the man can build a synthesizer. Music is the universal language. :)

Gilgamesh went to outer space? Now I'm regretting just using spark notes.

...last time I checked, Google owned Google and all search algorithms therein.

I saw the phrase "new internet" and walked away apathetically, feeling no sense of threat to the way things are right now.
