“When small start-ups I’ve spoken with do make money, they often find it difficult to recruit additional investment because most venture capitalists — and often the entrepreneurs they finance — are not interested in building viable long-term businesses. Rather, they’re interested in pumping up enough hype and valuation to find a quick exit through an acquisition at an eye-popping premium.” —Start-Ups Keep Revenue at Zero to Cash In on Acquisition - Disruptions - NYTimes.com

Google Begins Testing Its Augmented Reality Glasses → bits.blogs.nytimes.com

People I have spoken with who have have seen Project Glass said there is a misconception that the glasses will interfere with people’s daily life too much, constantly streaming information to them and distracting from the real world. But these people say the glasses actually free people up from technology.

One person who had used the glasses said: “They let technology get out of your way. If I want to take a picture I don’t have to reach into my pocket and take out my phone; I just press a button at the top of the glasses and that’s it.”

You know what’s even less distracting than a camera in your glasses? No camera at all. When people say they’re worried about technology distracting them from the real world, they’re concerned that we’ll forget what it means to live as a human, not that taking your camera phone out of your pocket is too difficult.
