Speaking in Tech: Glassholes are cool now Apple's doing it

yep nope

the only difference in "it's cool now" is the tech media whos still deep in the Reality Distortion Field.

Everywhere else in The Real World, camera glasses are still a "bad thing" regardless of the Cupertino Fruity Donut's involvement.

We'll probably see a lot of well funded positive press for a short time but that will only last for as long as the backchannels are flowing with cash. I suspect it won't be enough to balance out all the negative perceptions in the longer run.

Same same

Glassholes are glassholes regardless of the manufacturer. I don't see how the use in boardrooms, construction sites and workshops is going to fare. Companies tend to be much more paranoid about recording devices than Joe Public who thinks he has nothing to hide. Many company boards require the members to deposit their wireless devices into a sealed box before sitting down for a meeting. Even certain government offices have a requirement of no recording devices (unless your name is Hillary whereupon you just spout obscenities and stamp your foot until you get your way).
