Google glass, loved by geeks, loathed by privacy champions (among others) is no more. For now.

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Until a new version comes along, geeks will just have to resort to funny haircuts and T-shirts to make them look weird.

You could probably make a reasonable facsimile out of a pair of dollar store reading glasses, junk electronic parts and crazy glue.

I don't think *anyone* loved Google Glass.

Apparently, "The technology blogger Robert Scoble said he could not now imagine living a day without the product, and was even photographed wearing it in the shower." But he sounds like a man who needs friends, and I don't mean of the inflatable variety.

I loved the *idea* of it, in a totally geeky sci-fi way. But the actual reality was a bit shit.

I think its major flaws were a) it looked shit and b) everyone you spoke to felt they were being spied on.

Well yeah, but it did give us the phrase "glasshole" which has got to be worth something.
