And as a motorcyclist/bicyclist/driver/living being who'd prefer to stay that way for a while yet, think the idea of making it even easier for drivers to Facebook & YouTube it up behind the wheel is terrifying?

And if there is, I'd rather have a driver doing so over a HUD than looking down at the smartphone in their lap.

( insert rant about trading away ones right to privacy just to be seen as trendy here )

What privacy? You already have a phone with a camera and a GPS tracker in it.

No cell phones at all in your house? That makes you part of a very small minority.

Well that could be worth every penny of $1,500.

I guess I will have to get one then.

Hrrrmmm... Augmented Reality sounds like something that's been around for quite a while. 

You techno-geeks love 'em.
Us Luddites hate 'em.
Never the twain shall meet.

I saw 2 different people wearing them in the half marathon I ran in over the weekend....

Google Glass is kinda like a bluetooth you leave in your ear all day.  It screams "Look at how important I think I am".  Unless you are getting paid for being on the phone it's just dumb.

I will never forget seeing these two people get out of a crappy car with no paint left on it, both wearing bluetooths...... 

That being said HUDS are neat and I am looking forward to trying a Skully helmet.  Not for the phone but for the navigation.  In fact I turn my phone off while riding despite having a Cardo G9 Bluetooth setup.

Agreed. I'm looking forward to it to, for the rear view camera primarily. But seriously, when are they going to release it? They said BETA testing was supposed to start in February. As far as I know, no one has been contacted about them yet...
