Resistance is Futile
“People who constantly reach into a pocket to check a smartphone for bits of information will soon have another option: a pair of Google-made glasses that will be able to stream information to the wearer’s eyeballs in real time.” [NYT]
Great for reading the Washington Post online.
Cool, can I get a pair for driving?
Reminds me of that ST:TNG episode where Wesley gets addicted to an eyeball-streaming video game, gets the crew hooked, and everything goes to hell.
Besides, it won’t stop people from falling over or running into walls.
@matador1015: Since Wesley was supposed to be the audience’s surrogate character in order to psychologically identify with the action onscreen, does that mean that we all wanted to strangle ourselves?

Whoops! Usenet flashback.
Hey RML, pretty tough town you’ve got there: http://www.kob.com/article/stories/s2506830.shtml
@¡Andrew!: I hated that dweeb, and wasn’t keen on his Mom either.
@nojo: Oh hey, I finished Lost. I actually liked* the finale; it was an elegant and appropriate way to wrap up the series and say goodbye to the characters.
*Yes, I realize that serious Losties will sic Smokey on my azz for that.
@Dodgerblue: Really? I would’ve thought that Dr. Bev was your type.
Were you more of a Counselor Troi guy? She had all them extra-sensory perceptions–especially in crowded elevators.*
*Stole it from MAD Magazine.
@¡Andrew!: You nailed it, Andrew. We could talk 7 of 9, but that was another show.
@Dodgerblue: She was packin’ way more than nanoprobes.
“Two snaps and a clap for a body like that,” thus quoteth Salt ‘n Pepa.
Yes, and cats can fly.
All of this is making me nostolgic for a simpler time, before the premise for They Live became a plausible explanation for the current state of society.
@Dodgerblue: We don’t fuck around, ese.
Reminds me of an item from the Onion: “New law prohibits Kaleidoscoping while driving.”
