Mostly cause it read as if these rules applied to the finished retail product. Least it did for me.

[QUOTE=Maloof?;40322344]Because if it becomes a thing with consumer products then it'll be a really intrusive and nasty thing[/QUOTE]No it won't because it is already protected both in the U.S. and around the world. In the U.S. this was reaffirmed just a couple of weeks ago and the EU and other parts of the world have reaffirmed it repeatedly.

Well yeah, reselling a test product would be like asking to take a car from the dealership for a test spin and immediately selling it to some guy on Craigslist as soon as you get it out of the lot.

Not exactly, when you take a dealership car for a test spin you don't own it, selling it would be theft.
The Google Glasses aren't given for you as a free test, you pay for an experimental version, you own it but you have limitations on giving it to other people because it's experimental and NDA...

For fucking sakes, change the god damn title.

I'm guessing this is so that they can actually get some results back. The people who buy them second hand probably won't be returning any data and lending to somebody who hasn't signed an NDA is how unintentional leaks happen.

fuck off, I thought this was gonna be less than $500
It doesn't really sound like it's worth $1500, it apparently needs a smartphone and a belt-mounted battery pack to work.

edit: apparently it's a beta device or something.

Thats just for the mega special beta version thingy if you are filthy rich and want to use them before anyone else

That is the cost of the developer edition, which as far as I'm aware isn't mass-produced.

[QUOTE=redBadger;40321697]Maybe. Our steam accounts and all games associated with it could be disabled, no possibility of refund. That's just one relatable example

Google didn't comment on whether it'll apply to the finished product. It could be taken either way right now[/QUOTE]

Does it at least allow them to let a friend try it out for a few minutes, obviously not for a long time?
