George Takei talks Google Glass. Oh, myyy!

by

I am a long time, die hard Star Trek fan. I grew up in science fiction fandom. I have gone to conventions, sung filksongs, and even shared a stage with George Takei. (It was a reading of a short, fan-written “Sulu story.” I got to say 3 sexy lines to him. Before he came out. … Read more

It has come to my attention that Motorola (Google Owned Company) is using poor security practices. Located at this link Motorola Caught Slipping a user has found out that his Motorola Droid X2 is transmitting info to Motorola’s Blur Servers. Now if that is not alarming that Motorola is collecting your info when you login to … Read more

Now this is even more interesting–Google Glass banned from Google Shareholder’s Annual Meeting

by

Yes, you heard it right. Last time in my rant about Google Glass here on MobilityDigest.com I said some of the business already banned Google Glass from their premise even before it was released into the wild. Now it is hilarious that the mother ship of Google Glass banned it from Annual Shareholder’s meeting. Yahoo! … Read more

NBC, Just Use Youtube Already

by

SNL did a funny bit on Google Glass last night. I ran into it on the Verge, posted using NBC’s own video content distribution setup. I tried to play it, but it complained that I was running Adblock. Fair enough, that’s a legitimate complaint against me. So, I opened up another version of Chrome, opened up the extensions page, and just as I was about to toggle off Adblock, the video clip in the original browser starts playing the SNL bit. I switch back, hit the full screen button, and because I’ve got that screen standing vertically the unusual aspect ratio threw off the player for a while but it eventually played. Here it is (well, maybe):

Though realizing in retrospect it wasn’t worth the obstacles, I had myself a giggle, then looked at the comment thread on the Verge, and the majority …

Google Open Sources Google Glass Kernel, Driver Source

by

What do you make of that? I’m confused why they’d do this, release the source code of the kernel on which Google Glass runs as well as its drivers, HOWTOs nicely laid out. I’m almost always like general technological openness that doesn’t involve the Chinese and Russians repeatedly… But given how just mentioning Google Glass … Read more

MobilityLeaks: Go Go Google Glass Pervy Spycam!

by

srsly-ram-sucks-bigtimeDoug Simmons: I think Google Glass is one product I would have preferred Google to make a little harder to root, given the potential validity of some of the premature criticisms voiced here and the need for Google to keep things controlled (like pre-approving all apps) in order to try to curb misuse. Even Schmidt has his reservations. Now we need to rely on XDA admins to be responsible.. anyway, hello spycam and modified (like automobile-unlocked) texting and youtube apps.

David K: The guy used known vulnerabilities. You’d think Google would close the known vulnerabilities to at least attempt to harden the OS. iOS shows how good these guys are at ..

Google Glasses

by

Most of the privacy advocates think Google Glasses invade privacy. I agree with them to some extent, but public picture taking or video recording is not illegal at least in the USA and India. It comes to just moral sense or commonsense of the camera holder. Keeping it aside, I think the following industries,  would … Read more

The most hilarious read about Google Glass

by

“A Nice Piece of Glass” — This is totally awesome. Look out for Google fanboys claiming this is the next best thing since sliced bread. Now I have to watch for the DBs that wear these and drive, and the clowns that get distracted to look at these douchebags while on the road.
