well the funny thing about Google Glasses the expectations clearly exceed the reality the first thing people want to do is take a picture and have their picture taken but after a few awkward voice commands 30 to take it off and admit that it's pretty cool but there's just not that much you can do with it right now but we're starting to see developers stretch their legs in terms of what you can do in addition to what's available right out of the box you can now get hourly updates from the new york times app send and receive tweets and upload videos directly to youtube with a new fullscreen vmail there's also plenty of apps coming soon like Evernote and others but some developers aren't waiting around if you have successfully rooted glass allowing them to run apps that Google otherwise wouldn't approve one app Winky enables you to take a picture discreetly just by winking another less you run the full android desktop right from the eyepiece the explorer edition of Google glass was designs the developers could try new things but the speed at which it was rooted has caused some to speculate about the downsides of an ever-present microphone and camera someone could in theory tap into your glass without you ever knowing but for right now hacking glass requires physical access and hopefully it'll stay that way right now glass is a concept physically manifested it's an expensive accessory that has far more potential than it has functionality but that's okay as units arrive when the stoops of developers will undoubtedly see the number of apps expand pretty quickly glass will be a playground for the imaginative and though will experience some growing pains people are excited and ultimately that's what matters you
