Google has done an amazing job of mixing really shitty practices like this with really amazing things like the self driving car and glass.

As long as they continue to diversify and innovate they will have supporters... even if they often break their "don't be evil" motto.

Is glass really that amazing? Personally I think it's going to fail, like a long line of recent Google products.

I consider it like the 1980's cell phone. Way too expensive, not nearly capable enough, and you look really silly using it. But then let it evolve for a decade or two, and you might get something inevitable. Eventually i'm expecting something like the augmented reality in the TV show continuum, and that is something people would really be into.

Not sure it'll be a huge consumer hit, but you can't argue that they're innovating, they're continuing to push technology further.

It's almost as if Google isn't a single person...
