Google Fixes Glass Vulnerability To Malicious QR Codes 81
judgecorp writes "Google has fixed a vulnerability in its Glass device, which made it possible to fool the wearable gadget into joining malicious Wi-Fi networks, through the use of fake QR codes. Google fixed the flaw fast, following a tip-off from researchers — but there are two warnings to take from this. There are other weaknesses in Glass (such as the absence of a lockscreen), and this sort of weakness will increasingly hit as the Internet of Things takes hold and the number of communicating devices multiplies."

Going thru a mall will generate so much scanning noise that you won't be able to look thru the glasses. And it would be a pain to have to confirm everything "Do you want to scan this? Do you want to view that?"
I have less and less reason to ever get Google Glasses. Sorry Google
