News that Google Glass is alive and well makes one think of the famous quote from Mark Twain, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." Google Glass seemed to be yet another Google project that was much ballyhooed, only to find its way onto the scrap heap of failed projects from the search giant. Then an odd thing happened last month when a firmware update seemed to come out...
The new version of Google Glass may be right around the corner according to several leaks and a recent FCC filing.

Google on Monday announced a partnership with Luxottica Group, which currently owns and operates Ray-Ban, Oakley, Oliver Peoples and more. Basically, any eyewear worth owning is under control of Luxottica—this deal cannot be underestimated. Google and its minions are still trying to find the best way to use and market the wearable computer, but with Luxottica involved, the problem of...
Google really, really wants people to wear computers on their faces. If it isn't begging everyone for lots of money to beta test a despised technology, the search giant is actively scolding its users to stop being cyborg weirdos.
