Virtual light..

These will be great when they just look like slightly chunky specs, fed over bluetooth.. Allowing you to set in boring meetings watching pr0n, or playing stupid videogames. You'll have to be careful to avoid inappropriate exclamations, mind.

When they are comfy enough that you can wear them all the time, and feature low light and zoom via embedded cameras, and you can pull all sorts of useful overlays up in realtime, spod heaven.

HUD???

A truly nice use of the technology, but I suspect more than one idjut will probably eating popcorn, watching Death Race 2000, while they're driving rather than using the glasses for something useful like a HUD... Even at night

Poor Man's HUD

If the display has enough resolution then these could make for a portable poor man's heads-up display.

I don't expect to see well thought out HUDs in commercial automobiles for the near future. But something like these glasses would let me put useful information right in the middle of the windshield - speedometer, gps, even directional info from a valentine-1 radar detector. Having info immediately available can save crucial milliseconds that would otherwise be wasted looking down at a dashboard and back up to the windshield, improving safety for everyone on the road.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
