There's nothing innovative about this since this has been done for years.

What apple, Google and Microsoft main goals is to create a market for products and services. Innovation may or may not be apart of this process.

My comment has nothing to do with Apple or any other company. More from a worry about how much more personal data google will collect so I wouldn't use this product.

If apple, Cisco, microsoft, etc. had the same product and would collect all my personal data I would also not use their products.

I can see a future Facebook plugin where you walk down the street, look at a person, and instantly get their Facebook page displayed. Optional upgrades include criminal background check, Credit Score and the last 3 Tax Returns. We call it Pre-Dating Info :)

It sounds like a great idea until you see everyone walking around talking to "themselves" and making strange requests about pictures and music and buying tickets. It's funny already to see people with bluetooth headsets... I love technology but these folks would look silly. I hope that's not what "mainstream" people are going to be doing in a few years.

How about... what if t he wearer sees the command KILL ALL HUMANS?! Or after talking to the girl, she tells him that she is leaving him for another woman and he jumps off the building while she watches...
