Thanks for the quality, Lucky!

(BTW I accidentally ignored you when I went to reply on your wall. Not sure if you get a notification for that or not but just in case )

Seems to be *dead again with an "account terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement" message.

"'Heidi Montag -Rehearsing Fo...' The YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement."

Ditto. I wished I could only get notification on I Broke game playlist. Damn Google/YouTube removed that feature. Argh.

*dead -- "'Furious Boston Man Confront...' The YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement. "

You can stop e-mail notifications by putting a bogus e-mail address in your prefs, or you can ask @dag or @lucky760 to completely disable your account.

Can I have my account disabled? I haven't been on this site in years and, as far as I can, I've unchecked every box there is for any type of notification, yet I'm still getting emails.

Is there a way to stop them completely?

Hey buddy! Why did my email notifications since March 22 all get directed to my spam box? I did not mark any of your emails as spam.

You're still getting a little too excited. This is a simulation. None of this is final. But even the promise of this does not obviate the need for a phone, The interface certainly does not have the richness of a phone. And I've not seen them suggest this is a phone replacement.

There are areas where it will struggle:

Simply being able to see a large amount of information from the device and without interfering with normal sight. With my phone I can read quickly and then be back in the real world by looking up. I don't see myself reading reams of data with this thing. I'd love to try though!

The interface is different/more limited. You lose haptic feedback and long-presses to expose different functionality. I'd love to see how good a feature-rich note-taking app will work. Voice-recognition is the most likely use.

But voice recognition remains difficult and performs variably.

And nothing to say of how slow it might be to change networks, adjust settings etc. Many things might be locked down to ensure a smooth experience for the average user.


So, integration (or how Glass will be useful).

Glass will serve as a nice entry-point into the phone experience. You could open the notifications in Glass but you might want to focus on recording some video.
Or you hover on a film poster and have IMDB open up the details on the phone. You might have a lot of these moments in a day. Imagine building up a list of pictures, quick ideas/notes, something useful someone said and then take your phone out only when you sit down. Everything is there for review. Glass might be a very good inbox.

I could instantly sync my photos. It's thus backed up on the phone straight away (and later on the net) and could be auto-shared - I don't need to issue copious voice instructions. Same with video. Glass will gather data but you might want it to hand stuff off to the phone. And net access isn't always guaranteed.

Looking up real world objects, scanning barcodes, even raw data and have it converted into usable data. You could hold up your phone but it's a nicer experience to have a document rendering onto your phone while you look at a page of data or even take a phone call. And you don't have to get the phone out of your pocket. Multi-tasking for the win!

I view pdfs and spreadsheets on my Note 2 all the time. I've not scanned much because it seems hit and miss and there's no cool software to do much with it. This would be amazing with my laptop. I often get printed documents or scraps of paper. Being able to instantly scan and digitise on the go would be almost revolutionary.

The point is Glass will be a very useful *extension* of the device you are already carrying around. Which people will be carrying around for many years to come.

I hope it's cheap as chips because getting it pinched off your face would be fun
