Here Are What the Google Glass Prototypes Looked Like

Google Glass Has Already Been Hacked and Rooted

Though Google Glass runs Android, it's not exactly as wide open as your typical Android phone. And given its spot as the most futuristic tech available right now, you know hackers want to tinker with Google's specs.

Here’s What’s Inside Google Glass’ Box

Even though we've seen Google Glass be leaked, be announced, be presented, be demoed, be worn, be used, and even be mocked, it's always represented some far off future technology that we never were sure if it would ever be real (in a 'I can't believe it's already here' kind of way).

After letting people know that they owe Google $1500 for the honor of getting Google Glass early, Google busted the ol' elementary school Indian Giver on them.
