Neutral [chat] Hotel

Actually, this conversation is eerily similar to the one I remember from when the iPad came out.

Some people really want it, and have *list of applications* for their daily lives, and other people don't see how it could possibly be useful.

So probably what will happen is that some of us will buy it and some of us won't! Progress!

Edit: brackets do weird things now I guess

IDGAF WHAT GOOGLE GLASS LOOKS LIKE!

Straight up analyzing your heartrate and shit while I'm talking to you. Glass is tracking your eyes, telling me when you're lying.

Fuck the haters, give me augmented reality.

Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society. They are a boon to Hiro because they embody the worst stereotype of the CIC stringer. They draw all the attention. The payoff for this self-imposed ostracism is that you can be in the Metaverse all the time, and gather intelligence all the time.

When you picture the Gargoyles from the Disney cartoon doing all that the tone completely changes.

You just don't told him, "You don't speak Spanish."

Which is pretty presumptuous of you, frankly.

But right out of the gate, the iPad was kind of a known quality. There had been (shitty) tablets for years, so when a good tablet finally came out, using an OS that already had hundreds of thousands of apps, the transition was seamless.

Google is going about this the right way though. Introduce potentially disruptive tech to a very, VERY small pool of visionaries and media for a fucking expensive pricepoint, let them hack away at it and figure out how best to use it, and slowly bring the world at large into the idea that they need it.

This is quite different from the iPad, which sat somewhere between a large iPod touch (olol) and a macbook, so people had a frame of reference.

Let me tell you about the time I replaced an iPhone 4S screen while drinking.

I replaced an iPhone 4S screen and I was drinking at the time.
