Althouse: "Respect others and if they have questions about Glass don’t get snappy."

२० फेब्रुवारी, २०१४

"Respect others and if they have questions about Glass don’t get snappy."

"Be polite and explain what Glass does and remember, a quick demo can go a long way. In places where cell phone cameras aren’t allowed, the same rules will apply to Glass. If you’re asked to turn your phone off, turn Glass off as well. Breaking the rules or being rude will not get businesses excited about Glass and will ruin it for other Explorers."

I wouldn't trust someone who assured me that their cell phone camera was off, while walking around aiming it at things and holding it so only they could see the screen.; २०/२/१४, २:२५ PM
john म्हणाले...: Steven Glass?

Is the request the same if they have questions about Andrew Sullivan?; २०/२/१४, २:२७ PM
CWJ म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; २०/२/१४, २:४९ PM
MeatPopscicle1234 म्हणाले...: So far everyone I've met has been positive and interested in learning more about them. Haven't had any negative reactions, but then again I'm generally try to be polite and considerate on principal.

They're really not that big a deal... basically just like wearing glasses with a very tiny screen floating just outside your direct line of sight... I'd say in this case, people's outrage is purely an "online" phenomena; २०/२/१४, २:५० PM

Is asking someone questions about their Glass considered a microagression?; २०/२/१४, ३:०२ PM
southcentralpa म्हणाले...: We lost ahold of the rope when we (out of fear of the mentally ill) didn't mock and point at people walking around talking into their phone. Now people think that Google Glass is okay by extension.

I'm not sure how we unring that bell, but I'd love to hear suggestions.; २०/२/१४, ३:२१ PM
southcentralpa म्हणाले...: I've heard of being polite to a principal, but polite ON principal ... ? At least be the tool of an evil corporation with good grammar.; २०/२/१४, ३:२३ PM

Do you know that Google Glass makes you look geeky? Microaggression.

Do you know that Google Glass makes you look really with-it and fabulous? Acceptable.; २०/२/१४, ३:२८ PM
southcentralpa म्हणाले...: Also, George Clooney calling you a geek? Okay.

Some random dork? Not so much ...; २०/२/१४, ३:३२ PM

Oh please stop with the grammar Nazi shtick... And only tools call other people tools...; २०/२/१४, ४:०८ PM
Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: Don't even mention it. That invite to buy is still sitting in my inbox. But I think it would be bad etiquette for someone with a family to drop $1500+ on a beta product for fun. Que sera sera.; २०/२/१४, ८:०६ PM
Carl Pham म्हणाले...: Even as we speak, Japanese entrepreneurs are feverishly writing apps that will overlay the image of Jenna Jameson's ass on top of the sight of your wife's, and match the movement of the former to the latter with clever image-capture algorithms first developed for the NSA.; २०/२/१४, ११:२७ PM
Smilin' Jack म्हणाले...: "If you’re asked to turn your phone off, turn Glass off as well. Breaking the rules or being rude will not get businesses excited about Glass and will ruin it for other Explorers."

Suppose I respond "How about I turn your face off instead?" Would that ruin it for other Explorers?; २१/२/१४, १२:४६ AM
Alex म्हणाले...: Funny, Apple never needed to put out a dos/donts page about the iPhone. But than again, Apple has taste.; २१/२/१४, १:०३ AM
MayBee म्हणाले...: I still think it's going to damage your vision, having something vying for your peripheral vision wherever you look.

Like the glasses in The Jerk.; २१/२/१४, ६:४८ AM
Lefty57 म्हणाले...: And Joshua Barker reinforces my snap judgement that anyone who would use Google Glass in public must be an asshole.; २१/२/१४, ७:१८ AM
pst314 म्हणाले...: "I've heard of being polite to a principal, but polite ON principal ..."

I'd stand on principal here, except that back in HS I respected mine.; २१/२/१४, ८:१४ AM
pst314 म्हणाले...: Dr. Sheldon Cooper does not understand why he should turn off his Glass.; २१/२/१४, ८:१६ AM
richard mcenroe म्हणाले...: "Explorers?" Any Glass drone starts wandering around me recording my life for his masters at Google and he can explore picking Glass bits out of his face.

And yes, I said "his." How many women are early-adopting this crap?; २१/२/१४, ८:१९ AM

If you read a few articles about this you will see that Glass has a light that tells you when it is recording. Of course, someone could cover or disable it.; २१/२/१४, ९:३७ AM
