Google Glass Ban Gets Bar Big Publicity

An update from Google.

The augmented reality Google Glass eye wear isn't even available yet, but already a bar in Seattle has banned customers from using the futuristic headset due to privacy concerns.

The 5 Point Café in Cedar Street, which is referred to as a "dive bar", claims to be the first Seattle business to ban Google Glasses in advance via a post on Facebook, which said "ass kickings will be encouraged for violators."

The post has gained over 400 likes and 150 comments so far, most of which chastise the 5 Point Cafe for its decision and assert that it can't ban Google Glass without banning smartphones as well, as they too have video capabilities.
