You missed it. Again. And I spelled it out simply for you: why shouldn't I be able to take a picture of what I'm seeing?
That's it. Full stop.
Back to the Glass itself: "If Glass were a good product, people who have them would wear them." But they do wear them. Do they wear them all the time? No. But then I'm not always carrying my phone with me, either. Does that make it not good? What Gruber is saying is essentially: "Yes, the iPhone is not good because I am not using it right now."
Just like my friend would use Glass when it made sense, I use my phone when it makes sense. It's as simple as that. And he preferred it to pulling out his phone. And I was envious of it.
No he didn't. A memory of the view is what you have, that's for you. The picture taken with the Glass, while nice, can be seen by others. Not everyone is happy with the thought that anything they have ever done could be reviewed by others. They (and I) perceive the Glass to be a step in that direction. It is not always socially acceptable to take a photo and that is why.
I didn't miss it. I completely understand that you'd like to take pictures of what you see and nobody or certainly not me is saying that you shouldn't.
What I am saying to you is that I don't dislike Glass because I couldn't fathom a useful application, but because on the whole I see more or at least more substantial downsides than upsides. I don't expect you to share my view, but just because I don't share yours, it doesn't mean I don't know what it is and why you have it.
I also made no comment about how much you should or shouldn't wear Glass (or phone). What I said is that if you are using something less often than expected, then it's not your fault (at least not in most cases).
I know English is not my first language, but I am reasonably certain my previous short comment said more or less this same thing.
That's it. Full stop.

So yeah, you missed the point.
