"Google giving away a mobile OS, they aren't really supposed to make money on it "

Exactly... But money does come. Tony saying its a "spectacular failure" is ridiculous. Its given for free to bolster other revenue and its about branding, marketing, advertising, and dominating industry. Android is a long term strategy that is just in its infancy. They just starting selling high volume in 2011 FFS. It's not just doing well now, its gone from zero to dominating the industry in just a few years, and is still on its way up. The X phone and Android 5 are just a few months out.

But this isnt about Android, that is just Tony and jis need to change the subject to one that doesnt make an Apple competitor look good. As for Google Glass, it looks amazing. The potential is sky high. I cant freegin wait.

Certainly, but hyperbole is a thing on the internet. Something is either the best ever or the worst ever. :)


Potential is there, I want it to be inconspicuous. People walking around with bluetooth headsets are douchey enough. Ocular implants! :)

Ya, I get ya there. Double edge though. I want it to be inconspicuous on me... But then if ytou dont notive it, you neer know when someone might be recording you LOL. ick.

Hell, if nothing else I want it in my car. Like a NAV HUD. Hands free, and never have to look away from the road. If it did zero else, it would be worth it.
