Augmented Reality: The Verge testing Google Glass

*People need to pay a little attention to sensible, hands-on news like this, and stop blathering about how the magic device causes Mayan apocalypses, cures cancer, flies to Mars etc.

*Think of it this way: "Google Glass is a partially crippled Android device that sits on my head for Google's benefit, and has an interface about ten times weirder than Windows Eight." You're sure to figure that out eventually, so you might as well do it now and get ahead of the curve.

*It's still interesting; but since Glass is now a real-world product rather than a speculative prototype, it's become interesting in a different way. Some day, maybe quite soon, Google Glass will become dead media, and it will still be interesting.
