troll article. nobody likes google glass, nobody really? I wonder who's buying google glass for thousands of dollars on ebay. It's a prototype device, that's not even available for purchase yet, and it's already being shot down? Lets wait till it is more polished and more people start using it before making such a big statement.
>I haven't worn Glass.

OK, so this is probably a useless article, but let's skim ahead and see where the author did a rigorous analysis of customer feedback, compensating for known biases... and, OK, it's just a list of cherry-picked complaints.

From what I understand, many of those complaints are valid.

However, I could excerpt only criticism from reviews of Business Insider, title them "Nobody Really Likes Business Insider", and it would also be unfair flamebait.

I like the idea or an unobtrusive piece of technology that does a lot of what Glass will do.

However, I spent the first 28 years of my live wearing contacts and glasses. Then I got LASIK. Paying 1500 dollars to wear glasses again is not that appalling to me. Cost is not really the issue for me.

Isn't this what a limited beta is for?
I have long held that the Web is text based with photos & videos for content.

After meditating on the Google Glass concept for awhile I realized this could be the next evolution of the Web.
