It shouldn’t come as a surprise that after some digging, a lucky owner of Google Glass has found a well-placed Easter Egg inside the device’s software. After a check through Settings, then a specific number of taps on the track pad, you are greeted by a full panorama of the Google Glass team. And wouldn’t you know it, Mr. Sergey Brin even makes an appearance. 

The Explorer Editions of Google Glass are slowly shipping to early adopters as you read this, but since the $1,500 price tag attached to them was more than likely out of the range of most, you can imagine that the official retail launch is what’s on radars. We had originally heard that Glass in its retail form would arrive this year with a price below the $1,500 Explorer Edition, however, Eric Schmidt made comments this weekend in an interview with BBC radio that suggested otherwise. 

Do you happen to be a member of the walking dead populace that inhabits this world, hoping to get your nasty blood-covered hands on Google Glass? Unfortunately for you and your friends, Google set the record straight last Friday, claiming Glass “isn’t quite ready for zombies yet.” 

With Google Glass “Explorer Editions” becoming available for early adopters as early as this week, it only makes sense that someone would unbox theirs. It didn’t take long, but sure enough, the first ever Google Glass unboxing is now available. It’s shot with what appears to be a 4fps webcam, so prepare yourselves for a screaming headache once the clip has completed. But you will get to see the clever packaging, tour of the device, and accessories included.

Also, if you pop around Google+ and search for “Google Glass,” you are bound to find all sorts of clips and photos of these new Explorer Editions. Prepare to be overwhelmed by people with robotic accessories attached to their heads.

Even I have to admit that I’m more interested in Glass now than I have ever been. Maybe it’s jealousy because it’s in the hands of actual humans, I don’t know. What I do know is that I cannot wait for Google I/O to arrive. 

Google Glass is here, folks, whether the world is ready for it or not. After sending out notifications to participants of the Glass Explorer program and then releasing a developer API, Google also pushed out a support page for Glass which included FAQ and official tech specs. From the beginning, we were curious as to what was packed inside this new wearable tech. The mystery is finally over with. 

The first batches of Google Glass hardware are rolling “off the production line now,” according to emails sent out to Glass Explorers, the group of Google I/O 2012 attendees who signed up to be the first on the planet to get their hands on Google’s new wearable tech. With early production underway, devices should start shipping at any moment. In the email, Google says that they will not wait until all units are produced before shipping, so they will instead ship in batches as they are produced. 

Ever get tired of seeing advertisements in real life? AdBlock has partnered with Google Glass to give you the same ability that they offer on the web in your everyday life. To show how their new technology works they tweeted the above picture of Times Square after the ads have been blocked.

Unfortunately, seeing as how Google removed AdBlock from the Play Store this kind of partnership doesn’t seem very likely, but we can hope right? It doesn’t seem likely this would ever make it to Glass even if it were possible, but it might make Glass worth getting for some people.

Silly.

Apparently, the first buyers of Google Glass who signed up to throw down $1,500 for the wearable tech at last year’s Google I/O should have their investment in hand within the next month. At an event for the Glass Collective, an “investment syndicate between three firms to provide seed funding to entrepreneurs in the Glass ecosystem to help jumpstart their ideas,” someone close to the matter gave TechCrunch the skinny on shipping.
