Glass is supposed to upload all my pics and video to G+ automatically (set to private) without me having to do anything, right? Or am I wrong?
Cause mine never has. But, I thought it was supposed to....

I wanna be able to do it like this!
I appreciate the subtle delay he added slightly underneath. Really gels it all together.

Sometimes I pick up Glass after setting it down for a while and I later find something like this in my history. Is this a voice entry that was inadvertently triggered or is Glass trying to tell me something?
I am scared.

OEMs: Differentiate your hardware. Yes, absolutely. Do it. Here's my best recommendation on how.
AOSP. Vanilla Android. Straight up. No fancy wiz-bang functionality. Just incredible hardware running the stock Android experience, direct from Google.
But, that's not differentiation, you say. Everyone can do that. So we must make ours different.
But that's where you're wrong.
You differentiate yourself by offering, unlike most everyone else, Google's unadulterated, MATURE version of Android. It has come a long, long way in the past two years, and the foundation is COMPLETELY different than it was when you started skinning your own "experience" over the top years ago. If your skin looks and feels like it did 2-3 years ago, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.
You differentiate yourself from what has become the ... more »

Glass should really have a profile for streaming audio for music and podcast players via bluetooth. It only seems to have it for phone audio. But I would love to be able to just wear the glass to listen to my podcasts and not have to also wear headphones.

Android Tip
Thanks to +Jordan Hotmann for making me question whether I'm qualified to do an Android show.
How did I ever miss the fact that instead of tapping your app of choice from this screen, then tapping "Just Once", you can actually just double tap your app of choice instead, saving valuable milliseconds.
I fully expect you to comment saying something along the lines of "duh" or "seriously" but this really makes my life just a little bit easier.

I've disputed the claim via YouTube under Fair Use. In the meantime, the video appears to be live once again, so this link may only work for a short period of time. Until then:

I am disappoint , Google.
Hmmmm. YouTube blocked last night's +All About Android based on copyright grounds saying the show contains content from Google.
Last night was our Google IO round up episode where we dove DEEP into nearly every announcement (keynote or not) from last week. And, uh, yeah. Scanning through, we played a couple of videos from the keynote but... never in full, and ALWAYS with commentary over the top and... bah, why am I even spending time trying to explain why this is ass backwards and ridiculous when it's so painfully obvious that it makes no sense at all.
Allow me to promote your stuff for you. Allow me to show the great things you do to the world. The entire episode is about the great things you do, and blocking it for small chunks of video from the keynote that provide valuable context for our viewers just makes no gawl dern sens... more »

Shnikeys.
I've long loved Google products 'n all... but MAN, I am loving Google+ these days. The changes to the app are solid and keep improving exponentially with every release. The changes to the web experience do SO MUCH to make me keep coming back as well. I've gotten used to the new layout and though I wasn't averse to it when it was unveiled last week, I've grown to really love the presentation and visual flow. And I feel like engagement has shot up visibly since the keynote last Wednesday too. People who've been merely tipping their toes in the G+ water are now regularly coming back. Folks are learning how you use G+ cause, I believe, you use it differently than you use other social networks.
And say what you will about the fact that apps can't post into G+. I actually love that about it. It keeps content fresh. A person can't post the sa... more »

What's it like to TD a show at TWiT through Google Glass
I recorded my POV while I did my Technical Director duties for last Friday's episode of +Tech News Today. Watch, if you dare. This is what it's like to be the TD for the show. (But compared to this video, I get a bit less of the sea sick feeling when I do it IRL.)

This is indeed the best (and funniest) reaction to Google Glass yet. If you think +Ron Richards needs his own pair, re-share and let +Project Glass know. He gets my vote.

Yargh! OK, I mentioned earlier today about a video I recorded with Glass. I've waited all day for this 60min video to push to instant upload on g+. It appears the upload failed and all I have on g+ is a broken file that doesn't play back at all. I just want the video off, dammit! Amy thoughts on how I can get it off? They've made it incredibly tough to get at the media you record using glass. I'm actually very surprised at how tough it is!

Publishing issues PLAGUED the release of this (time sensitive) episode. So you may think that a show full of predictions for the Google IO keynote (that now took place two days ago) wouldn't be worth watching. Here's why you still should watch:
1. What else ya gonna do?
2. +Gina Trapani IN STUDIO.
3. +Michael Wolfson brings it!
4. Ouya in the house (thanks to +Jeff Needles)
5. +Ron Richards gets glassed (kind of)
6. You can now see how many predictions we all (including +Jason Howell and +Chad Johnson) got right and wrong!

So I've recorded an academy award winning video with Glass. I want access to the raw file so I can Final Cut it up and post it. I don't want to share it the way it is right now.
How do I do that?

None of my tons and tons of photos have auto-awesome'd themselves. What am I doing wrong?

Over the past few months Google TV has gathered momentum by launching powerful features for our users such as the highest quality voice search of any TV product and strong manufacturer adoption of the platform. At Google I/O, it’s time to talk about developers and enabling them to bring more great experiences to TV.
Today, Google TV is moving to the latest version of Android (Jelly Bean, 4.2.2), and we’ve refactored Google TV so that our TV OEM partners can update to future versions of Android in a matter of weeks rather than months. For developers, this means you can build TV experiences using the latest Android APIs, including the NDK.
Today Google TV is also moving to the latest version of Chrome, and from now on Google TV benefits from Chrome updates on the same six week cycle that you’ve come to expect from Chrome. In Chrome on Google TV, we’ve added support for hardware... more »

So wait. Maybe I missed it somewhere along the way.
Installed the new Hangout app (that "replaces Talk")
But I still have the Talk app installed. And when I launch Hangout, it takes me to Talk. And everything looks like Talk.
Did I miss something? I can't un-install Talk.
Confused.

I have to train myself with the new G+ for the web that new posts won't automatically appear. You have to click the "2 New" (or however many new you have) button on the left. That will take some getting used to.

I have to leave for the drive to SF for IO so I'm posting this before it's likely in your feed. But this is your call to start checking cause the versions will begin to appear over the next 20 minutes! Check fast and furious! And if you can't wait, just go to this link and download the MP3 right now. You know, BEFORE IO starts!

Tonight's +All About Android is shaping up to be an incredible one:

Digidesign Eleven Rack... Opinions?
Hmmmmm. Considering selling my Line6 Pod HD so I can grab the Digi Eleven Rack with Pro Tools 10 (includes free upgrade to PT 11 included when its released).
Anyone have any opinions on that? Audio nerds, talkin to you.
I spend all of my time in the box these days and that HD500 is super powerful but I never use it cause I HATE fiddling with the interface... Even the software front end for it is lame. I've simply gotten much better results out of software guitar emulation like Amplitube as opposed to the HD500. Most of my new album is Amplitube (electric guitars and bass, that is), which tells me the HD500 is simply collecting dust. Not good for a unit worth $500.
SO, Eleven Rack seems like the best of all worlds. Gives me hardware that will be compatible with the next version of PT. Gives me more simultaneous inputs... more »

With Google Glass invite in hand, +Leo Laporte dropped this bombshell on me seconds ago:
"You go to Google and do the fitting, you can review them. I'll pay for them, you keep them. You're the one with the new baby."
I am... stunned.
Seriously awesome. (Thanks Boss!)
