Another sign of the times?

Saw my first pair of Google Glasses today... in the window of a CEX shop priced at an eye-watering £800

Which presumably means that someone paid considerably more than that and got so fed up that they sold them, since CEX are actually fairly careful not to buy stolen goods etc.

There are definitely people around with more money than sense.

I'd go say £100 for something like that, but even that's pushing it for something that's going to be a LOT more limited than any tablet.

I know far too many people who have stated they're going to punch anyone they see with google glasses on. They seem to take offence to the idea that they could be being filmed at any moment by people wearing them.

Or by anyone using a phone, carrying a camera, etc.

I get where they're coming from, but the next gen version will probably be almost impossible to spot, so I suspect this isn't a good long-term strategy. I'd personally go with WiFi jammers if this worried me.
