Hey Saurik - don't take the hating so personally man. Google gave you Glass precisely because they knew you'd rock the boat and piss a bunch of people off (and get people talking about Glass in the process). You're doing a wonderful job of that. Be proud.

As a side note, that's a good example of my biggest problem with Glass as a product. Not even Google knows what to do with it, and they are expecting hackers to "show me something cool" -- Wait, what?? No, YOU TELL ME FIRST what Glass is supposed to do, then I might think about devoting some of my unpaid time to hack some "shit" for you.

Unless Google also open sources the Glass hardware, any "contributions" to their source code will be benefiting only Google and not the open source community.

Wow I totally thought this guy (linked in parent) was an actor when I saw him in last year's Google Glass ad campaigns, not a Google employee.
