Difference is, those non-glass cameras don't come bundled up with Google services fed down your throat and automatically upload your data.

You have a very different take on privacy compared to most "hackers". I remember you're a "some active" and think that everyone loves taking selfies and that shameless self promotion is some sort of a calling for every person, regardless what the cost is to privacy.

I shouldn't dwell on this subject more, as you got my real HN account hellbanned the last time I pointed this out.

It's not what the discussion in media was about though; people were mostly upset by someone having a camera on them. The connection to Google Services is a fair point, though it's a bit orthogonal and the Glass doesn't change the equation much after everyone has a smartphone connected to those same services.

If you're refering to the thread about Facebook from some time ago, I'm pretty sure statements like this were what got you hellbanned; you apparently still have a very false view of my person and on-line activities. HN doesn't discourage disagreement on topics (hell, my attitude to privacy is non-mainstream around here) - it does however discourage personal attacks.

Still, it sucks to get hellbanned; I'm sorry.
