From a purely selfish view (because we're still waiting for fiber to all the major cities in Australia and unlimited upload and downloads) I would go Fiber.
I'm certain we were not the first to do so, but I found drawings by my sister and I from 2006 and 2007 depicting one of her characters wearing these things. People really want internet glasses. Knowlege is Power by ~cho-chosensei on deviantART
I mean, ignoring that I didn't have a very good sense of HUD or GUI design during middle school, it's Google Glass. I'm sure there are lists of sci-fi tech predictions that mention certain films or novels beating us to it by decades, but still. It's kind of funny.
Just got a message on G+ about upgrading to a newer model of the hardware in a few weeks, as well as opening up the program to invite friends. Stay tuned!
How easily can other people see what you are looking at on glass? If you were watching Netflix could.someone beside or in front of you know what show/movie you were watching?

You can't watch Netflix on Glass. Like most people you are vastly overestimating its capabilities.
For those who have it, is the device now vital for you to have in everyday life? Or is it more of a nice to have, fun toy when I remember I'm wearing it.
I haven't tried it, but there's a guy at work in our surgical simulation department who wears one 24/7. He's evaluating it for use by surgeons, officially. I always see him wearing it in the halls and the parking garage.
Can someone near you look at your glass and discern what you are looking at on the 'screen'?
You can see a tiny, reflected image of what is on the prism, yes. It is hard to see even up close, like looking through a pair of binoculars backwards.
I have 3 Google Glass invites. One is already spoken for. Rym may or may not take the second one?
You must:
be a US resident
be 18 years or older
purchase Glass (for $1500+)
provide a U.S. based shipping address OR pick up the device in New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles
Apparently there is going to be a second revision of the hardware, and I presume that is what these invitees will get. They are giving people who already have Glass a one-time chance to swap their old Glass for the new one. I will almost definitely take them up on that offer. Supposedly the new version supports prescription frames and such, but they probably aren't included.
I really only want to give the invite to someone I know. Lots of random strangers on the Internet are popping out of the woodwork to try and get the invites. Hell no. I have to send all three invites together, and I only have 12 more days to send them.
I'm game. I wish I knew if I could put prescription lenses/frames together with it at-delivery, or if that's yet another milestone down the road...
When asked how the prescription lenses would work, whoever's running their G+ mentioned that the device can be detached from the titanium band. That's currently true, but it's not a good solution. Even if you have a 3d printer you're going to have a hell of a time getting it properly positioned on your frames.
I only have a mild astigmatism, but I'd like to have a way to just attach prescription lenses, the same way that you can attach sunglasses.

They specifically said the next version supports attaching prescription frames. It just doesn't say how to get such frames, when they will be available, or for how much.
