A hacker says he can enter any Google Glass

For several days ago I mentioned that a hacker had managed to do a jailbreak to your Google Glass. Jay Freeman (pictured), better known as Saurik, the one who carried out the task and then published some few details about how he had managed to avoid stating the security of Google. At bottom, the Glass glasses are an Android device based on the Linux kernel, can run on all Android devices running frequent, and of course their safety can be traversed easily if you have the necessary knowledge so that we can modify many of its functions. An example of this happens with the videos: the default Glass only record 10 seconds of video, but if we can modify the code that record as long as the user wants it.
Besides revealing this, Saurik also said something that has attracted much attention. He says he is able to hack any device Glass and even install a software tracking record everything we see and hear. The only thing he could not know about us is what crosses our mind.
That sounds pretty scary, right? Hopefully Google realizes this problem before the Glass into mass production.

The Google Glass also banned in Las Vegas

Do the Google Glass device will become the highest number of prohibitions in the world? If things continue at this rate, maybe. Whatever may happen in Vegas, stays in Vegas, and this applies also to the famous Google goggles. It is obvious that the various casinos and clubs in the city does not want people to go out there with his great spectacles recording everything they see. The reasons are more than obvious.

One of the managers of a major club in town say they have faced such problems for years. That is, not only refers to the Glass glasses , but what are cameras and mobile phones capable of taking pictures and recording videos. As Glass sales increase, more people will start using them.If someone is seen wearing a pair of glasses Glass in a club or casino, you will be the same as it does to people carrying cameras.

Taking pictures is prohibited in some locales of Las Vegas, and the security guards asked to not take pictures out of respect for the privacy of others.

I wonder what the next place where the Google Glass will be banned.

Great campaign begins anti-Glass

Here we talk about many things in the world of technology: phones, computers and laptops, tablets, developments, inventions, robotics and more. Being a person anti-technology is something rarely seen in the world today, but even those who like a lot of it, sometimes they can also learn to reject it. This is what happened in the case of Google Glass. We discussed a few days ago a little about the first steps of the anti-Glass, and today we have a little report.

Last week launched a website called "Stop The Cyborgs" whose creator or associates are not known. The issue is that the idea of it is to deal with the glasses Glass and possible loss of privacy that they might bring. The idea behind the site is to "respond to the project and other technology trends Glass" to "prevent a future where there is no privacy and corporate control is total."

The truth is that the site is fairly solid arguments in favor, especially as regards the Glass, since in a few seconds a person can take a photo without us noticing and hang it on the Internet.

What do you think about this? Do the Glass represent a real threat to our privacy?

The Glass Google already beginning to be banned

The anti-Glass campaign has already begun. There are still many months for the Google Glass officially go on sale, but there are still local already starting to run ads that people that you are wearing can not enter the place. One of the first shops in ban has been the 5 Point Cafe, located in Seattle.
Dave Meinert, the restaurant's owner, is afraid that the glasses can scare customers. With Google Glass is very easy to take videos or pictures of someone without the person's knowledge, reason enough for more than one client site to become a little paranoid and decided to stop to go if you see someone with the aforementioned glasses.
The truth is that Meinert has a valid point: the Glass are able to record anything you see and upload it to the Internet quickly, which could compromise the privacy of people.
Still, we are confident that this will not stop the Glass. When a technology or a very innovative device are introduced, virtually nothing can with them. Take the iPhone for example, that at the time of launch was a novelty, did someone came up to face at the time?
What do you think? Are Glass should be prohibited in certain places?

One of the Google app you can identify Glass back being even

Face Recognition?? No, that's a bit dated. What today is the recognition and being back app from Google Glass incorporates this function. Well, it does not focus specifically recognize us by our back, but its major function is to identify without seeing your face, for which generally would be back, though not always the case.
Google has launched a fierce application development program for his glasses, which are among the most anticipated devices of the year. Note that one of its applications, which we talked about in this article, has won the Google Faculty Research Award.
The creators of the application, which incidentally is called InSight, are Dr. Srihari Nelakuditi University of South Carolina and Dr. Romit Roy Choudhury of Duke University.
InSight allows us to identify a person when you can not see his face and being even in a crowd. The software makes use of visual data, design patterns and movement data of the individual to create a kind of "visual fingerprint." In tests that were conducted recently, the application could recognize 15 different people properly for 93% of the time, and all without using any technology of facial recognition.
This application undoubtedly have many uses, one of which is to identify criminals who bring their faces covered if previously has the same data.
InSight is just the tip of the iceberg, and that in the coming months will begin to emerge more applications that can really fabulous greatly influence our lifestyle.

Google goggles you will hear sound directly into your head

 

Google goggles (Google Glass) have become famous even before being officially released and it looks like you are still adding features here and there to iron out the product before putting it on sale. The last one is quite interesting because it seems that the glasses will be able to send sounds directly to your head.
Instead of including a classic speakers, it seems that the glasses would be equipped with a vibration system that would act on the bones of your skull using them as amplification system. Say you would hear voices in your head the without external speakers or headphones and no one out there could hear what you're listening to.
The idea is rather curious on several levels, not only because it increases the level of privacy even while listening to music or someone during a telephone conversation. Besides that the device becomes lighter and more like ordinary glasses without attaching bulky headphones.
So far it seems that Google have patented the idea under the name of 'integral vibratory audio provides the user through the user's head.' A rather long name while descriptive.
Will have to see what other inventions added to the glasses before its release, but still many doubt it really ends up becoming a popular gadget to the level of a smartphone or tablet. Time will tell.

This is the first professional video recorded with the Google Glass

 

Previously, and in a couple of occasions, we have seen videos shot by the Google Glass, but it was short simple videos, the quality left a bit to be desired. Recently, the Google Glass were seen in a fashion show.
Google has already released the first video that can be considered "professional" and recorded with these glasses, and it is a small production "DVF [Through Glass]" and which show us the behind-the-scenes of that parade took place in New York.
Google says the whole video can be seen below was recorded using only his new glasses, and if this is true, then the image stabilization and video quality has improved dramatically.
