This is just for the beta versions, right? I would have a problem with this if it was permanent, or if it is done on every device. But if it's just for beta testing reasons, then I don't see the problem.

  • Unclear. The story referenced one man who got in on the pilot program (where you "buy" a pair for $1,500) and was planning on reselling it on eBay. He was up to bids for $90k when someone pointed out that Google would likely disable them if he sold them, and he withdrew the auction. The article states that Google is depending on a previous court case about how "breaking the shrink wrap" on software constitutes a full agreement to the terms of use. But I am not 100% confident that would apply to a physical object.

  • I guess since Google is talking about removing or changing the software, they can do it. They're not talking about changing a physical object.

  • They're talking about taking the hardware off of your head and allowing someone else to wear it.
