"In a somewhat pre-emptive move Google is lobbying against state legislation that would ban drivers from using Google Glass while driving. I, for one, would like to see such legislation passed. There is enough distracted driving due to hand-held cell phones and Google Glass would just be just one more task for the brain to cope with.

Well I'm going to strongly disagree with you there.
If we had more regulation the greedy bankers and Wall Street could have never created this Great Depression.
I'm sure you will respond back with the inviolable ideology of Capitalism and Free-Markets, both of which are illusory though and never existed.
There is no level playing field, and no corporation would ever seek to be fair. Greedy sociopaths that comprise the toxic corporate culture of today will do everything up to crushing puppies and setting kittens on fire, if it means gaining more wealth and power. All of it cloaked in the ideology that promotes the Share Holder as being above all else, and if it services the Share Holder, it must be right, correct, moral, and full of tasty freedom.
Without strong regulations, and more preferably, strict super-max prison sentences for the execs, they will continue to act in the most unfair ways possible to gain whatever advantages they can.
To state otherwise is to engage in wishful thinking and willful ignorance of the facts evident in the last 20 years in this failing country.
No, I've been convinced beyond all doubt. Regulations are fully required, and we desperately need more of them to prevent the wholesale theft that was performed on us in the last 7 years, and is in fact, still going strong.
Never has this country been so weak in every respect. All of it, ALL of it, could have been avoided with better regulations.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
