I see the future and it's really augmented

Check out this demo of the Google glasses. They are pretty cool even if only a dream, for now.  Easing the step to augmented reality. 

I am a little surprised how little concern there seems to be that all the visual data are being interpreted not in the device but in the “cloud” by Google & co.  They want to know everything about you, where you are and what you are doing, so that they can sell you stuff, to put it bluntly. But we can relax because Google does no evil.  Google good. 


Of course iGlasses will be even cooler, tres chic, stylish (Apple of my eye, D&G) and nobody will worry about Apple doing anything bad, nooooo.  Apple good.  What about others?  I want eye-IBM (pronounced aye-aye) with Jeopardy-winner Watson telling me the answers.  Yes, yes, in the form of questions.  Very Yoda-like, you think?  

Waiting to Go (Fight the Faux "News")

Have you ever been bothered by Fox "news" at your local gym or bar or elsewhere? At the gym, I object whenever more than 2 TVs are showing Fox.  

Fight the stupidity! Get involved and do you part to improve political literacy in the US. Whenever you are subjected to Fox, demand relief from those responsible. Below is the mail I sent to my local airport. Feel free to copy and edit to suit your situation and thoughts.

Dear Sir or Madam,

While waiting for an early morning flight from XXX, I was offended by the highly partisan Fox cable 'news' showing on 4 of the 7 TVs visible at the time. Who decided that we in the captive audience will be subjected to one-sided political propaganda? I think most fellow-travelers would prefer something certifiably unbiased, informative, or educational (e.g., CSPAN, the Weather Channel, PBS). Or even better, perhaps one of our fine local channels? 

Thank you for your consideration and reply.
All the best,
"Reuel" 

I also provided my email address and they promised a reply, which I will be waiting for. If they don't promise a change, I will write to my local newspaper. (BTW I did intend the slightly provocative "fellow-travelers" reference.)
