Peeing is plausible but how could it be achieved without any notices? -
- Acharad Sami
Even if you wipe yourself well, some fecal matter will be left on your butt after pooping. So that's probably the source of at least some of the fecal matter in public pools.
- John (bird whisperer)
I don't understand why this is getting so much play right now. There's bacteria in the pool. There's always been bacteria in the pool.

Kol Tregaskes, Thomas Power and Stephen Mack #TeamMomo liked this
I think that this could possibly be one of those products that a large number of people don't get and are thusly left behind.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
And I mean "don't get" as in "don't understand", "don't like", "don't want" and/or "don't see the benefits".
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
The nature of the roll out is only going to exacerbate the problem. The product itself is severely flawed in a myriad of ways, but, seriously, whoever was put in charge of this pre-launch phase should be updating their resume.
- Soup in a TARDIS
What's wrong with the way they rolled it out?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I'd take issue with "and are thusly left behind." My guess is that millions of us who don't "get" a particular hot new thing aren't left behind--we choose not to participate. Which is an entirely valid choice unless life, death or health are involved.
- Walt Crawford
I take issue with the arrogance that those who don't bend over and willingly accept every new piece of tech as the holy grail and the product that will change the fundamental way we communicate as a luddite or someone who will be left behind. Maybe it's just possible that the vast majority of those who don't "get it" are actually making a choice that this is silly, a step to far or simply something that only those who display such arrogance will care about.
- Johnny
from iPhone
Surely if you're in the small group using it, you'd be left behind with the other people in the small group using it.
- Pete #TeamMonique
++ Walt & Johnny. These are choices. We absolutely should not blindly accept the technological manifest destiny, build it and they will come, mentality. Particularly when they are being foisted on us by very powerful data-aggregating corporations.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Like how all the people who didn't get on the Apple Newton bandwagon got left behind?

And the Segway. (P.S. I had a Newton, but bought with company money, not personal)
- Tinfoil 2.0
They have given priority to a pool of almost entirely white middle aged men, Alex, almost all of which have ties to IT powerhouses but very little notoriety outside the industry.

They also did ZERO prep work to prepare the...

If it is actually a good thing and works well eventually the majority will get behind it. When cell phone companies switch their focus to something like this then you know it has taken off. Otherwise it will just be another fad
- Jason - The Opaque
from Android
I assume Glass uses massive amounts of bandwidth. I can't imagine data carriers being particularly enthusiastic that.
- Victor Ganata
They had a segment on APM Marketplace this morning about how the selective rollout was Google's way of trying to prepare people to adapt to changing social mores. I do think that people born in a world where they can't imagine life without the Internet have way different privacy expectations that those of us who remember a time before Facebook and YouTube.
- Victor Ganata
First generation products never capture markets in one fell swoop, anyway. Even the iPhone took a few iterations to grab all the marketshare, so maybe by the time Google Glass 3.0 rolls around, everyone will have jumped onto the face computer bandwagon.
- Victor Ganata
Isn't that interesting? iPhone has "all the marketshare"--Samsung and Google/Android must find that remarkable. And somewhat counterfactual.
- Walt Crawford
One thing that was immediately obvious to me during the NPR story: despite all of the gushing from Glass enthusiasts, there was only one they thing they could do wearing Glasses that they couldn't do with an ordinary smart phone. At this point, the marginal upgrade in capability and convenience doesn't seem to justify the cost, not to mention the privacy implications.
- Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
Walt, I meant "all the marketshare" as in "all the marketshare that they've captured" (which is certainly a significant percentage) not literally 100% of the marketshare, which is, yeah, preposterous. But it's also clear that Samsung in particular has jumped whole-heartedly onto the touch screen smartphone bandwagon. Ignoring patent lawsuit judgments, can anyone really seriously argue that the current form factor of almost 100% of smartphones today wasn't somehow influenced by the first-generation iPhone?
- Victor Ganata
I do.
- Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
I don't get Alex's comments, but I think I'm ahead of the game.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
You can take issue with "get left behind" all you want, shrug. Has nothing to do with being a luddite either. However, if two people are doing the same job and one person has a piece of equipment that gives them a significant edge, the other person will be left behind. Google Glass probably won't be as disruptive as that, but it's a V1 product. Same as the Newton. And the Newton wasn't a failure. The work done there ultimately led to things like the iPhone/iPad.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Until it becomes obvious what that "significant edge" actually is compared to a smartphone, I think I'll wait.
- Victor Ganata
from iPhone
It's there in the NPR blog that I linked. The potential uses in medicine alone are huge.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Some possible examples. There's a medical app that allows a surgeon to map a patient's body. They can then see using their HUD (which is basically what Glass is) exactly where they need to cut, critical patient data and the surgery can be recorded for later review. A remote surgeon could also use the camera view to help an inexperience surgeon through a new procedure.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Potential != actual. Google may not necessarily be the first to actually implement those features. Personally, I'd wait until a company with medical device and healthcare IT experience gets involved, either with their own devices or in collaboration with Google.
- Victor Ganata
from iPhone
You're arguing two different things, Alex. Google Glass isn't going to "leave people behind" because of uses and technologies that might result from it in the future. THOSE technologies might be revolutionary and wonderful, these arse-ugly glasses that are currently little more than a glorified cell phone and peep cam won't.
- Soup in a TARDIS
(Also, remote surgery already exists, just fyi)
- Soup in a TARDIS
I'm not arguing anything, to be honest.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
And don't worry. As soon as Apple comes out with a similar product most of the naysayers will forget they ever had issues.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Oh yeah, because THAT'S not an argumentative or combative comment.
- Soup in a TARDIS
Let's just hope that this isn't the Newton of this type of technology. It took like what, 15 years for us to go from Newton to a successful useful product that a critical mass could afford?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yes, this CONVERSATION is really just my yearly pon farr. Get ready to fight to the death while wearing Google Glass so the whole thing can be recorded. **cue's Star Trek fight music**
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
If we're talking about iOS vs Android or some other iOS deployed for use in the medical field, well, that's just a function of the critical mass of apps, where iOS has a head start. So, yeah, if Apple really does come out with something like Glass, it may very well be preferred in ORs and on the wards.
- Victor Ganata
from iPhone
Does either company have a medical testing group? If not it probably won't be either company. That's a long complicated process.
- Todd Hoff
They don't really need to, Todd. These products are frameworks. Other companies that specialize in medicine can build apps for them and sell accordingly.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
The whole entire stack needs to be vetter from hardware on down and up. Unless they are indemnified it would be nuts to take somebody elses platform and put the years and millions in trials it would take to get approval.
- Todd Hoff
There will always be niche products that are truly great for what they're for. I don't think Google Glass is one of them. Certainly a well-designed, well-tested medical HUD device could be very useful... to certain people. But that has nothing to do with the merits (or lack thereof) of Glass, or the general population getting "left behind" for not adoptng some niche technology.
- Tinfoil 2.0
There's nothing to suggest that this will just be a niche technology.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I wouldn't buy an Apple Glass either, Alex, especially unless it had serious privacy protections. I don't use Siri. I rarely have Location Services turned on. I eschewe apps whenever possible, particularly if there's a perfectly fine web interfce. The issue isn't who makes it, it's how it's implemented, and how it treats the user AND (especially) others affected by it.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Well, it is niche unless or until no one is left behind :p
- Tinfoil 2.0
iPhone is not a niche product and there are plenty of people who don't or won't have one.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
But many of them have similar tech whcih means they aren't left behind in any tangible way.
- Tinfoil 2.0
And many others do not. There are still a significant number of people who don't have smart phones.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
1Q2013: "136.7 million people in the U.S. owned smartphones (58 percent mobile market penetration)" [http://www.comscore.com/Insight...] That's a pretty sizable proportion.
- Tinfoil 2.0
That's less than half the US. ~180 million people who don't currently have a smart phone is also a pretty sizeable amount.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Babies don't need phones. The majority of the US phone-buying market have smartphones. Seriously, is there anthing so unique about a smartphone that someone using a feature phone and computer (or tablet especially) wouldn't grok quickly enough - that current smartphone users also grok?
- Tinfoil 2.0
You can't grok what you don't have.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Most smartphone owners don't grok what they already have. But anyone who has used a tablet knows how to use a smartphone, except for voice, which is easy but is declining in use anyway.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Finally saw one in the wild today. Bigger & bulkier than I was expecting.
- ronin
I wouldn't buy apple-branded glass either. I think the whole concept is creepy. The tracking part, the taking photos part, plus I wear bifocals already. I also worry about this notion of people who don't get on board with google glass (or like products) will be "left behind" and that is somehow ok. We already have a huge section of the population left behind due to poverty and...
more...
- Soup in a TARDIS
Soup makes a good point. Tech can be as much of a power lever as money or data. We should be striving to provide equity of access to all power-differentiators, or the haves and have-nots will continue to diverge (with ruinous results probable). That doesn't mean Glass for everyone, just means scientific and technological literacy as a core piece of education.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Developers have definitely been building medical iOS apps and devices that connect to your iPhone/iPad, and they've been getting approved by the FDA. The companies behind them already have medical device experience, though. Apple doesn't seem to be into it directly, but iOS has a huge head start.
- Victor Ganata
The standards when dealing with human patients is exceedingly high. Pixuru is FDA approved, for example, and it allows customers to order framed prints of their own photos. A vision tester is another. Remote access of data. A radiology app. An EKG machine. Blood pressure. All trivial in the scheme of things. A device that can kill someone during a procedure has a lot of hoops to jump through. Look for this tech in easier to approve parts of the world before hits the US.
- Todd Hoff
Yeah, I don't really see GE, Medtronic, Siemens, or Philips necessarily going with either Apple or Google platforms for building medical devices, except for auxillary functions.
- Victor Ganata
Alex, I can grok smart phones perfectly fine. I don't fucking want it because of all the other shit attached that I would prefer not to have, plus I would hardly even use the thing if I did.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Cristo, nice troll.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
The notion of getting left behind is worrisome. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine a distopian world where the rich have access to all sorts of technologies, implants, etc. and the poor continue to live in squalor.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Cristo, your view of this sort of thread is severely warped. This is a conversation. A discussion. It's not an argument. If you want an argument that room is down the hall. There's no right or wrong here, only possibilities.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
In all this let's remember that IBM showcased an almost identical product with tiny postage stamp screen close to eye clipped to an eyeglass frame over 10 years ago. Remember ubiquitous and wearable computers?!? Yeah! No body climbed on that train either

- WarLord
Except that IBM never actually made a product.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I've worn corrective lenses almost my entire life. I've watched my eyegl,ass wearing friends rush to contacts and even surgery to shed those bulky anoying frames and lenses - This attitude is a big barrier for Glass to get over. The plus will have to be astonishing to overcome this minus
- WarLord
Probably...then again, the technology to do this on a contact lens will get here eventually. Or just build it all into an Ironman like suit. I'm pretty sure that if someone could look like Ironman for $200, a lot of people would be paying for that.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
IBM were debuting a product, - mthey made a hands on demo to a portable computer project I was working on in St Paul over 10 years ago. So yeah Alex IBM did in fact have a beyond beta hardware package which is I guess what we arer discussing woth Google
- WarLord
My brother didn't have a picture of himself taken with it in the shower, therefore it did not exist.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
If your point is that this tech has been in the works for a very long time, yep, no doubt. Just like how digital hearing aids physically filled a large room when first built in the 80s. Technology is much more often evolutionary than revolutionary.

I'd really like to build something like this, except that I'm not very knowledgeable about gardening. I used to help my grandmother with her (50+ years ago) but didn't take any notes! Also, I'm guessing it's important that they be reasonably level, so I'd have to terrace my back yard a bit more. Maybe one box per terrace or something.

Ground control to Major Tom: Chris Hadfield covers 'Space Oddity' in music video from orbit | The Verge - http://www.theverge.com/2013...

"Last December, astronaut Chris Hadfield recorded the first song in space aboard the International Space Station, and he's back today with the first music video from space: a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity." Hadfield is set to return home to Earth in a Soyuz craft on the morning of May 14th, after a prolific mission in space filled with science, singing, and sharing on Twitter. The video features Hadfield moving throughout the ISS with his guitar, with some impressive vocals to boot — between the setting and the sound, it's a performance that does Bowie justice."

Sweet! The most expensive music video ever made.

I love this so much, thanks for sharing!

Yeah, this was really nice to see. NASA seems to do so little to make human space travel look fun and appealing. I mean they have a lot of scientific, photographic, educational and even inspirational content, but it's all so... square. This guy is fucking cool as hell, you know? Except for that mustache, but he gets a pass for that. :D

Yeah, I'm definitely more scared being this close to 50 but that has a lot more to do with where I personally am in my life than the age of 50 itself. I'm sure other people do really well with it.

Group Petitions White House to Ban Google Glass | TechnoBuffalo - http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013...

"Should Google Glass be banned? There’s certainly an argument to be made, especially if you’re concerned that anyone can be walking around snapping photos of you or recording your every move. In fact, we talked a bit about this during our latest Tech on the Range podcast. There’s enough concern that some people have recently created a petition with the White House to ban the technology until “clear limitations are placed to prevent indecent public surveillance.” It’s not so much a worry of government surveillance, but a worry of surveillance from our peers who are lucky or, perhaps, wealthy enough to afford the new tech. “Google Glass is a new twist on technology which hasn’t had clearly stated limits on the locations in US communities where it can and cannot be used,” the petition argues. “In order to protect our communities we need limitations to prevent indecent public surveillance of our friends, children, and families. It is hard to prevent it because the hardware gives no...

LOL, this is about the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. The tech isn't going to sit still, will have a lot of future uses and eventually will become so small that you won't be able to tell a normal pair of glasses from one with this tech. This is a perfect example of people wanting a law that just isn't workable with the way technology works.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble

- Joe "Bad Guts" Silence
I'm going to go the other way and say that that I'm happy they put up the petition. Not because I agree with it or think it will succeed, but because it's one small piece of a large conversation that needs to keep happening. I think society will have to struggle with how existing concepts of privacy and photography exist in a hyper-connected, hyper-recorded world (to say nothing of the...

From the perspective of someone who feels like I just took their picture without their permission, crappy images are photography. As in: "That stranger just took a photo of my kid!"

When Glass are outlawed only outlaws wil have Glass... I wonder why people such a visceral reaction to Glass? I suspect it's a conversation we should have had long ago about our "always ON" technology,
- WarLord
yeah this conversation will need to happen. Theres a much bigger issue at hand. Seems that only 20 people have signed the petetion
- Peter Dawson
Banning is too drastic, how about backround checks before purchase? Level 3 Sex Offenders would be prohibited of course. Obviously if you want to wear Glass there is added scrutiny because...look at that picture Really!?! So I think there's a middle ground here.. Maybe a permit allowing you to use Glass if you take a class and pass a proficency test and pay a fee...
- WarLord
Having a conversation and putting up a petition to ban these devices are two separate things. The petition is absolutely unnecessary to create the conversation and undercuts any serious conversation because of how ridiculous it is as a notion.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Wouldn't it be more true to the premise if they tried to ban tiny cameras? Problem is, the camera tech small enough to fit in Google Glass is also small enough to fit in a cell phone.
- Andrew C (✓)
It's not a "ridiculous" notion, but it is a negotiating position. Better conversation now, or would you rather walk up to your favorite bar, coffee shop, gym, or restaurant and find a sign on door banning Glass right along with smoking.... #secondhandglassiswhenitspostedoninstagram
- WarLord
So we like photons. Photons should be free. How about audio waves? Can we ban the ubiquitous interception and rebroadcasting of audio waves?
- Todd Hoff
It's negotiating like saying all public schools should be closed to stop government competition with private schools is a negotiating position.
- Andrew C (✓)
No It's negotiating position like saying this device is a luxury and intrusive, lets decide if its worth the pain to allow it in the wild. I'm guessing backround checks and wearing licenses might appease the Glass Banners
- WarLord
Many states already have two-party consent on audio recording. Plus, it's a whole lot more plausible to sue someone for stalking or harassment if you catch them secretly spying on you with a pen-cam or something. But the insidious thing with Glass is that it's an arrogant push (just like Facebook constantly pushing the privacy envelope) to assert new norms that it's "OK" for private citizens to opaquely and frictionlessly surveille each other any time they're not in the protection of their own homes.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Why would we have consent for audio waves and not photons?

maybe the "banning pettion" is a tiny indication that people are tired of living in a world where one fuck up gets a viral you tube video not of your own making... #whyiwontdrinkinabarthatallowsglass

"Have you ever uploaded a photo to Facebook, Instagram or Flickr? If so, you'll probably want to read this, because the rules on who can exploit your work have now changed radically, overnight. Amateur and professional illustrators and photographers alike will find themselves ensnared by the changes, the result of lobbying by Silicon Valley and radical bureaucrats and academics. The changes are enacted in the sprawling Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act which received Royal Assent last week, and it marks a huge shift in power away from citizens and towards large US corporations. How so? Previously, and in most of the world today, ownership of your creation is automatic, and legally considered to be an individual's property. That's enshrined in the Berne Convention and other international treaties, where it's considered to be a basic human right. What this means in practice is that you can go after somebody who exploits it without your permission - even if pursuing them is cumbersome...

The Act contains changes to UK copyright law which permit the commercial exploitation of images where information identifying the owner is missing, so-called "orphan works", by placing the work into what's known as "extended collective licensing" schemes. Since most digital images on the internet today are orphans - the metadata is missing or has been stripped by a large organisation - millions of photographs and illustrations are swept into such schemes.

So now, if we want to give someone on the forum a penny for their thoughts, or butt in with our two cents, we can...literally. Or we can be much more generous, if we want.

I guess what I am trying to say is that we don't really have to wait for "someday" for some entrepreneur with access to a ton of VC cash to make our dreams come true, and exploit us for profit at the same time. Where there is a will, there is a way for us to build it ourselves...today! And we can keep it pure, no exploitation for profit, automatically taking only a small amount from each user's deposits and placing it into a fund, just enough to keep the site going and pay its bills.

Maybe it's time to wake this group up and pick up the discussion, where we left off. http://friendfeed.com/openff

Considering that now, all these years later, we could start with basically a BuddyPress site and add features. Doesn't takes near the chops it did back in the day.

And if its for us, to keep the community going, that's a much lower bar than to be an actual startup that looking to make folks rich.

I taught myself how to do cartwheels and handstands when I was five. I can still do 'em, forty years later (but not nearly as well). #saturdayff

This is a picture from the early '90s (or possibly late '80s) in Santa Cruz taken by my friend Kyrie.

Senior year of high school for the talent show, I walked across the stage on my hands. It was the second night of the show. I was dating another senior, Sara S., who was the director of the show. Everyone had horrible senioritis and was completely unmotivated. The talent show was pretty much terrible start to finish. During one lengthy sketch that wasn't getting any laughs (and hadn't had any the night before), she pushed me out of the wings and told me to walk across the stage on my hands.

I guess it was her equivalent of using one of those hooked poles that you see in old vaudeville talkies to yank the performers off the stage when they're bombing.

Good job! I never managed to master walking on my hands. I could do handstands, and eventually even managed to push myself up from a headstand to a handstand, but somehow I couldn't sustain walking on my hands for more than a few feeble 'steps.'

I tried this once, took out a small orphanage

I've had so many dreams of walking my hands! I've never tried it though. I'm not strong enough.

Zu, if you have never tried it, how do you know you're not strong enough? Try it!

It only took me a month to put together the easel Santa got her. That counts as a huge success, right?

Yvonne, Santa also got her the easel accessory kit that came with some paint and a dry erase marker and some chalk. So, uh, Melissa and Doug chalk, I guess?
