Google Glass

We all know what google glasses are, right?
I just stumbled upon this: http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/future-tech/google-glass-to-ship-to-developers-this-month--1143834
And I wonder, are they out soon? :D

I don't like them. The idea is awesome but knowing google they'll track everything we do.
I'm not a nerd but I pretend:

Who will seriously be mad enough to go out with $1000 on the head ?
Seriously, in a society with no stealers, those glasses could make a hit, since privacy seems not to be a problem for most people using Facebook and such.

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

I, for one, welcome our tech savvy overlords :P

Joking aside, the price right now is only high since it's a new produc. Eventually, the price will drop making it more feasible to use.

I'm also guessing there will be security features to help prevent theft like each unit having a trackable unique ID.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Android phones. They can already track everything you do.
I'd say look into their privacy policy, and see if there are settings to disable tracking etc.

I thought it is "Google glass" not "google glasses" what seems obvious is not obvious.

I don't see the problem with this?

It's not like they will judge you. People google weird things all the time! Plus, even if they do they will never meet me.

It's not about what Google will do with the information, its what others will do with it if they get their hands on it. Like oppressive governments, or law enforcement agencies etc.

Hmm I see...

But how would that info help governments, or law?

Don't network providers keep track of what you do anyway?

The main problem would be with other corporations who would want to buy that data. There are also a couple other privacy concerns.

Edit: They don't keep track of you to the point of where you go and what is your routine in outside life. For instance, insurance companies could keep track of how often you go to fast food chains and artificially inflate prices due to "unhealthy activities," for instance.
