Maximum PC: Being an early adopter comes with its own set of risks and rewards, as some Google Glass "Explorers" are finding out. In a Google+ post today, the Mountain View firm announced that all new Glass orders will ship with 2GB of RAM. That's twice as much as the 1GB of RAM all previous Glass orders contained, and with no plans to upgrade existing users, some early adopters are feeling burned.
Is this the next iteration of Google Glass?
Modern technology is built into new smart glasses now being offered by Waterloo, Canada-based North, formerly Thalmic Labs. Focals feature a transparent holographic display built into its lenses that only the wearer can see.
Google partner Streye is selling Google Glass Enterprise Edition for $1,800.
"780mAh battery" yeah, no thanks. I've seen what batteries do when they overheat; but hopefully they won't have a Samsung situation.
Early adopters must have felt suffice with one gig of ram, cause if not, then they would have waited. The real dumb part of this article points out irrelevant information such as "Google glass updated with two gigs of ram", since Google glass will soon be updated with three gigs of ram and they will be crying wolf, all over again!
If you are an early adopter, you will either luck out and get something awesome, or more likely, you'll be stuck with an outdated and crippled version of the final product.
No one seems to understand the risks to being an early adopter. D-bags gonna D-bate.
Somehow these people that feel the need to jump on bleeding edge technology have no concept of how fast technology changes. These people are just absurd, entitled, and flat out stupid.
Does the douchebaggery never end?
Not only do these folks plunk down $1,500 on a product that screams, "I'm a douche", they also expect that product development should halt for a while?!?
I love the schadenfreude this generates and the uber doucheyness of them now wearing an obsoleted product.
