Google Glass?
I thought it was cool up until I read the list of applications it has:
Email
Twitter
Facebook
Messaging
Essentially it's just a social media device attached to your face for no apparent reason, other than to maybe disengage you further from the real world.
All the sorts of applications it should have, AR apps that would integrate with the surrounding real world and improve/augment your knowledge of it, are nowhere to be seen.
I feel like the team who envisioned the product originally never told the designing team anything other than "smart glasses!"

Too easy...would be no class and cheap.
Like iVibrator, or...well, see...no class, cheap and easy!!
Time to trademark "fapp store".
Eventually it'll all be distilled down to a microchip implant. We'll get the visual data directly through our optic nerves and manage our communication with our thoughts. It's already happening a lot quicker than I thought it would, starting with simple experimental game controllers and some prosthetics. But at the rate technology is advancing, we'll probably see it in a decade or so. I don't think a life as a Borg is for me, but there will probably be a future generation that's quite comfortable with that idea.
What the &*#@ would this guy know about great products? With the state of his company's Mac support, he should resign from Apple's board, not be leaking to rumors to the likes of Bloomberg.
While I don't disagree that they are stretching connections to Apple at times, I'd guess this one is more of a 'he's a board member so he would be talking about this as a veiled hint of what Apple is doing' type fodder
In all seriousness, if I worked on the Mac side at Intuit I would be too embarrassed to admit it in public.
Yeah, he should be really worried about Intuit.

(Disclaimer: I work for Intuit. Was at this town hall meeting in person, too.)
Good then you can tell us how much of that is due to Windows software, the online turbo tax etc and how much is due to Quicken for the Mac.
Rising value doesn't change that the guy is on the board for a company his products failed, and still fail, to fully support. That's lame

iVibe

And someone will try to use Continuum as 'prior art'
So this would be something that could be controlled via the iPhone/iPad with "Remote" like say maybe an iEgg?
apple seems to be doing a really good job keeping the lid on what their next big thing will be...if in fact...something new will be coming along.
how hilarious would it be if the only thing that trickles out this summer is the 6th gen Shuffle that goes back to being shaped like a stick of gum. i would laugh
