They're not disabling the recording function, so amateur POV porn is still a go!

As for people wearing glasses: from what I understand, you will be able to get glasses with prescription lenses either at or shortly after launch?

Was told that is in Alpha. Was a question I asked while at the Google office in NYC.

That's good to know! And what about the prescription lenses? *zing*

At least for now you can't resell them. The device is tied to your google account and you can't log into any other account with it.
That is why I always sign up for new things with a "throwaway" account

Bummer though because I doubt anyone thought of that at the time and secondly I doubt I would actually be able to afford it since everyone would mark up the price into the stratosphere.

Bumping this because they are letting people with Google Glass invite 3 friends to purchase one.

I want to be your friend if you have an invite.

You can resell them. A Factory reset of the Google Glass lets you tie it to another account.

Source: My wife lent her Google Glass to a friend and we tied it to his account through this method.

I'm glad they made it that easy to change accounts with them. Does your wife use them often?

Wonder how much an invite is worth :3 Wife got 3 yesterday but they are all probably taken. Chances are they will start handing out additional batches if they treat it like Gmail.
I heard they are going for around $500 right now! I am not willing to spend anything more than the $1500 but I think that is enough to spend on a gimmick like this

Honestly, the current incarnation is trash. The battery life is awful and we can't find a real use for them...
I think the only times she every really used it is when we went house hunting. Now that that is over... who knows. They may just sit in a corner and collect dust like a Nintendo product.
I can't even use them as I don't wear contacts and there is no mount for glasses.

The new hardware is better with glasses and contacts I am reading.
