Hi there,
I find this... disconcerting:
http://www.linux.com/news/friday-funnies/the-iron-penguin-part-2
I understand that Google Glass is a Linux-based device that makes rounds in
the press and seems to be a very... convenient vehicle of promoting Linux, but
there is a multitude of problems with it.
First off, I don't see Google promoting the fact that it's Linux-based. Google
doesn't help promote Linux.
Secondly, Google Glass has a lot of dangerous implications for privacy and
personal freedom -- the very personal freedom that Free Software is poised to
protect, although in a bit different area.
Am I the only one here that feels uneasy about it?
