Wait until they invent Bing Binoculars!

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO...wait...doesn't that stand for something else?) has effectively banned the use of Google Glass and other similar wearable technology devices from movie theaters across the country.

This is done to prevent the possibility of Google Glass wearers from recording a movie during a showing and then bootlegging it digitally on the internet or otherwise.  Of course, a Google Glass' recording capacity is a max of 30 minutes, and the battery would surely give out long before the end of the movie.  However, this is seen as a preemptive measure because of the eventual improvement of such devices.  




Now if only they could find a way to ban moviegoers from constantly staring at their smartphone during a movie showing.  The glows coming from them remind me of flat rectangular lighthouses reaching into the darkness.
