    Australia saw smart glasses and said: what if Google Glass, but with better cameras and worse boundaries? A workplace ban is understandable where confidential data is everywhere. But calling it world leading feels premature: the real challenge is writing privacy rules that survive the next pair of glasses too, not just banning today’s model.

    I see TimTams mentioned and I gotta say how good they are. If you haven’t tried them, you need to. So good!

      I want to try some Vegemite; don’t worry I have a large jar of Marmite in the fridge, I know what I want.

        I’m an American that developed a taste for Vegemite the Aussie way with butter. I want to try Marmite now.

          It’s pretty good and a good supplement. I, thankfully, can get it at the local grocery store.

      It’s easy to do when you live on a miserable island where everything is literally trying to kill them.

        Considering how many people emigrate there, I don’t think it’s particularly miserable.

    I definitely see the possibility for abuse, but making a zero-tolerance assumption that these glasses are worn only by pervs seems as mindless as assuming a black guy walking down your street is obviously casing houses to rob, because why else would he be there? Or that a man eating his lunch on a park bench is definitely, unquestionably a pedophile looking for child victims, because what other reason would he have?
