no it isn't, unless someone puts a dictionary in a blender and the word 'awesome' accidentally finds itself paired up with the definition of the word 'stupid'

would be cool to have an IR lens which showed that spectrum in the glass. Or night vision. or some kind of miniature vision enhancement.

the stigma of looking like a tool should keep this well away from ever really being popular... unless it gets developed to the point that it has such awesome features that function trumps form by miles.

what? headphones are socially accepted, where cyborg glasses are not. You can't seriously be categorizing the two together!?

This interests me. Streaming videos to social networking sites and checking my emails on the move does not.

What? Huge headphones like those are exclusively used by hipster types while Google's glasses are just that: glasses. I don't know why people think they make you look like morons. Having said that, I do agree with seremtan's notion of that desire of being surrounded by information all the time is gettin a bit absurd.
