Google's New Augmented-Reality Glasses

Goggle has revealed a prototype of a new pair of glasses.  These glasses include a camera and technology that displays information overlayed on top of what you are seeing, like the yellow line in a football game that represents the 1st Down marker.

It can display things like map routes right in front of you, weather updates, reviews on restaurants you are passing, etc.

How many years until they talk about implanting this type of technology directly into your eyes?

A Blind Man Drives to Taco Bell

Google ran a test of their self-driving Prius in the San Francisco Bay area, during which a blind man 'drove' to a Taco Bell and went through the drive-in lane.  The excursion was legal, though carefully orchestrated.

Being able to get to Taco Bell at any cost seems like an excellent step forward for mankind and technology...
