Just over two years ago, Google's Sergey Brin was on the catwalk at New York Fashion Week, taking a bow following fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg's Google Glass-studded show. Back then, Google Glass was riding a high wave of positive press: The New York Times proposed it was "the future of technology" and fashion critic Vanessa Friedman mused that Glass was "the next big accessory." But Glassholes have since turned face computing into a social malfunction, and now Reuters is reporting the project's future is in jeopardy.

Google Glass has a habit of changing people. Not only does it turn wearers into hysterical assholes, American doctors say Glass caused one man to become an addict.

It's a bad sign when your futuristic face computer is so universally hated that a conference full of Iron Man fanboys bans its presence.

What does it tell you that DVF—one of the most elegant, fashion-savvy style geniuses of our time, a woman with enough foresight to literally invent a new kind of dress—looks dumb with a face computer?

The worst American export since the atom bomb is now ready to enable the socially inept in an entirely new nation: Google's "Glass Explorer" program programme is hitting the UK. Get ready for lots of POV videos of stabbings.

The Daily Show is scheduled to air a segment on the plight of the glasshole tonight. It follows Sarah Slocum, who was allegedly assaulted in a San Francisco dive bar for recording patrons with Google Glass before going on a self-promotion tour that lasted most of the spring. Now we can watch the spotlight return to her computer-adorned face.

Until now, the privilege of strapping cellphone components and a camera to one's face has been reserved for a vanguard of privacy-eschewing, society-flouting Google devotees—the "Glass Explorers." But a new report shows Google is planning to let the general public buy dystopian skull accessories.

Guests of the Stanford Court hotel in Nob Hill are greeted with a rug exclaiming #HELLO! (hashtag included.) Here and there in the lobby, iPad kiosks languish at just below hip-level. No one interacts with them. The first floor is riddled with these kind of flourishes, implanted awkwardly into what was once your average Marriott.

Sarah Slocum, persecuted computer pioneer and San Francisco socialite, is experienced when it comes to privacy outrage: the LA Times reports Slocum was the target of a restraining order after allegedly peeping on her neighbors with a smartphone two years ago.

Sarah Slocum, a San Francisco resident, social nightmare, and self-professed cyborg hate crime victim, is also a liar. Watch her on local TV, describing the bar she recorded with her face computer, as she denies recording with her face computer.
