They should have smashed the glasses and left her alone after that.
Ok we're totally derailing the topic ( I mean totally) but isn't that how most common people... "genre" I guess... have sprung up? Someone didn't wake up one day saying I wanna be a "punk". It's a name associated with a kind of clothing/attitude/music-preference etc. How would describing another niche group of people as "hipster" be any different?

I doubt a random person you met at the bar has any motive or opportunity to use the footage either. I mean, let's look at it rationally: unless you never leave your house, you're bound to travel somewhere where there are tourists. Or maybe you're the tourist. You are probably already on dozens if not 100 picture/video recording. I mean, when I visit things, I try not to catch people on my pictures, but it's almost impossible. Doesn't mean I masturbate furiously to the ones I do catch...
I don't mind being caught on film by security cams or tourists. Particularly the latter, because they are obvious and sporadic.
But I actually do have reasons to not want my behavior tracked that don't involve me doing anything illegal. That's all I'm going to say about it.
Having to second guess whether that Glasshole across the restaurant is filming me or not is enough to make me use any (legal) recourse to let that person know just how unhappy I am about their behavior.
I'm not naive enough to believe the technology can be stopped, but I fully support putting social and legal pressure to reduce the acceptability of using them.
P.S. Google is lobbying to make them legal while driving! F.U. Googly bastards.

Pasta?? What are we talking about this isn't Olive Garden ._.
Is it really that famous? If I haven't heard of it, it can't be the Chef Boyardee of pasta sauce.

What if they put a little light around the lens to indicate if they're recording or not, in a way that it can be covered up w/o covering the lens? And I mean, we already have cell phones while driving which is equally dangerous. I could see putting the GPS map on the GG, which would probably be better than the GPS's you stick in your window.
Eh, personally I'd rather them ban most things while driving, including talking on the phone. People are already shitty drivers as it is, no need to add distractions on top.
Of course its not sarcasm. So if you're an asshole in public and can now be held accountable for it because there is video proof, boo hoo. How about don't be a ass.
Just as the NSA doesn't give a shit about your personal phone calls, neither does a google glass wearer care about what you do... Unless of course you are a)breaking the law or b) being racist, sexist, homophobic est. which again, oh boo hoooo you're being called out for it.
There is no excuse for assaulting someone. They could simply have asked her to refrain from filming anyone, the moment they decided to assault her instead, they stepped way over the line.
If it's an establishment that's open to the public that does not prohibit video recording, there's nothing wrong with video recording. If it does prohibit video recording, or it's a facility not open to the general public, that's a bit more questionable... but a bar definitely counts as "open to the public".
I agree that sticking those devices in someone's face is unacceptable, but more because that kind of behavior is harassment. As long as you're in public and there are no overt restrictions on being recorded, it's safest to assume that someone is recording you.
I definitely don't agree with assaulting people, but I also don't agree with Google Glass existing period. Google is quickly becoming an aberration of it's past self. They're getting away with far too much these days, and their cute hipster look causes people to completely overlook it. As we speak Google is lobbying in states to not classify Google Glass as a distraction while driving. This while helping destroy lives in San Francisco. People are losing their homes over there because of companies like Google. I expect some major pushback in the near future for them.
someone working for some tech company using google glass does not belong in a bar that Does not serve 200 dollar glasses of wine. The rich class has taken over san francisco and skyrocketed the price of housing in the city. Wealth in equality is a huge issue in this country and the only person that can do anything about it is the government. Richer are richer than ever and yet everyone complains Obama is a socialist to offset him from bringing any reasonable changes such as regulating the housing market that would save millions of middle class homes from the same phenomenon in san francisco now happening in parts all over the country.
apparently she had the person on film... using her google glasses;P
hell who the F would attack someone wearing a camera on there head!

The age of no privacy is around the corner folks. Be prepared to have every stupid thing you do made public.
On the bright side, now every thing you see that you wish you could play back, you soon will be able to, and freeze frame.

give it a few years things like google glass will be disguised as sunglasses and reading glasses. Face it, as we grow more technologically advanced we lose more and more privacy.
