Is using these in public spaces courteous?

Why do I have visions of incompetents blinking their way to new heights of productivity?

No. It's what tanked Google Glasses. If you click through on the comment video I linked to, there's embedded video of people abusing people with GGlasses on. A real "f u and your spyware" vibe.

years ago i thought Apple was moving into personal healthcare devices via the watch. their recent fiasco with blood oxygen monitor—having to remove their latest watch from stores b/c they didn’t (and then couldn’t) negotiate an agreement w/the blood ox IP owner—proved i was wrong.

it’s a similarly dystopian vision, but one that’s a bit more upscale than selling teenagers the ability, er ‘experience,’ to flirt with cartoons. tim cook doesn’t have steve jobs’ savant-like genius for product dev, nor his vision.
