As the etiquette of Google Glass has mostly been established through personal trials and endless news stories reporting on those trials, Google's blog summarized the rules it deemed most pertinent and appropriate (though it did affirm the term "glasshole") in its most recent post, PC Magazine reported.

"Since the program started, our Explorers have gotten a lot of attention when they wear Glass out and about," read the post. "Reactions range from the curious - "Wow! Are those the 'Google glasses'? How do they work?" - to the suspect - "Goodness gracious do those things see into my soul?!" Luckily as the Explorer Community grows, so does their collective wisdom. We asked some long-time Explorers for their advice, and here it is:"

And so goes the list.

Glass is still in its trial or "Explorer" stage, meaning wearers can only acquire one with special permission or by submitting an answer to the implied question, "if I had glass..." (and paying $1,500 for a suitable response). If I was slightly more tech-savvy, I might accuse Google of breaching etiquette. Clearly, the product is ready for the public, maybe even over-ready (not a common phrase, I know) given we now have guidelines for its use. Sell the dang things already!

That doesn't look to be happening any time soon. According to their FAQ page, Google doesn't even have a date set for general release, which means at least another year in the tech world.

Q: When will Glass be available to all consumers?

A: Our goal is to make Glass available to a wider and wider group of Explorers, with even broader availability down the road so stay tuned.

Instead, they plan on increasing the base of Explorers, and thus the number of people paying $1,500 for the device as well as the number of news outlets covering its use (key phrase: "stay tuned"). I was going to make this a 500-word article, but in protest I'm going to stop at (.)335 (or Derek Jeter's projected batting average next year).
