Google Glass Reboot: This Time, They Got a Warby Parker... I Mean, Plan!

They Drew First Blood...Again

Alright listen up. Google's back in the smart glasses game. Sergey Brin says it's different this time. Different how? They got Warby Parker. Warby Parker! Sounds like someone finally learned a lesson. I know a thing or two about lessons learned the hard way. This ain't no jungle but tech can be just as unforgiving. Google's stock must be feelin' like it just got a whole new magazine of ammo after it rose over 15%.

Android XR and AI: The New Weapons

These new specs run on Android XR and are juiced up with Gemini AI. Talk to your glasses? Sounds like a recipe for looking like a crazy person. But hey if it gets the job done... Remember 'To survive a war you gotta become war.' I just hope these glasses don't start talking back like some of the guys I've met in the field. They got other partners too: Samsung Qualcomm Sony Xreal and Magic Leap. Feels like a lot too many cooks in the kitchen they say. I guess it's better to have too many allies instead of being outnumbered and outgunned like always.

The Ghost of Google Glass Past

Brin admits they messed up big time with the first Google Glass. 'I definitely feel like I made a lot of mistakes,' he says. You think? Those things were clunkier than a tank stuck in the mud. He blames a 'technology gap' and not knowing about supply chains. Supply chains? Sounds like my kind of jungle. 'Live for nothing or die for something.' Maybe this time they're living for something other than ridicule.

AI to the Rescue?

Apparently AI is supposed to make these new glasses less distracting. That's the key. I needed to be one with the jungle not distracted by it. These glasses better not get me killed out there in the tech world. They also have a new high end subscription called Google AI Ultra which costs $249.99 per month. What is this a subscription box for nerds? I sure hope it gives them killer skills.

Privacy Wars: This Time It's Personal

The original Google Glass had a camera that caused privacy nightmares. People were worried about being filmed all the time. I get it. Nobody likes being watched. 'They're closing in Mendoza they're closing in!' Let's hope they learned from that mistake and these new glasses don't turn into surveillance devices. I am sure this time they'll do something about it or 'I'll give them a war they won't believe!'

Demo Day Disaster Averted (Hopefully)

Brin even joked about those skydivers who demoed the first Google Glass. Live streaming from the sky? Sounds like a good way to end up splattered on the pavement. 'To survive a war you gotta become war.' No way these skydivers knew what they were doing let alone the war they were about to start. He says they should 'polish the product first.' Smart move. Maybe this time they'll actually have a product worth showing off. This better work out or Google will have to deal with me.
