Hello!

Right

Mobile devtools in Chrome continues to impress.  The real-time rendered layers view is fantastic!  #chromedevtools

Bing bing bing bing bang POPCORN!

Everything you ever wanted to know about promises in JS, and a whole lot more

Excellent, keeping that main thread open.   #chrome   #javascript  

Isaac Cohen from Leap Motion takes us on a ride through a chillstep galaxy he created using #webgl , #webaudioapi , and #leapmotion

Chrome 32.0.1700.77 seems to have brought quite a few changes to the Dev Tools that I am not enjoying.  I haven't spotted any major breakages yet, but very subtle changes to things like:

*  Order of panels (Elements, Network, Sources, etc) is changed
*  Console show/hide/clear buttons
*  Moving Emulation controls to a tab inside the console view

While I'm sure there were well meaning reasons behind these changes, from my POV this layout is just different now without any benefit.  As a developer that uses them every day, these little adjustments without additional functionality to justify them are a little annoying.

Just my opinion.

Good luck in court today +Cecilia Abadie.  This court decision will probably have a huge impact on how Glass goes forward.  #glassexplorers  

Well at least I got to see Chicago one last time before it froze beyond thawing #throughglass  

Very impressive vision of Augmented Reality

December #GlassUpdates: It’s the most wonderful time of the year

You’ve shared your wishes, we’ve made our list and checked it twice, and now we’re closing out 2013 with some of your most popular requests.

Lock Screen

We get a lot of questions from Explorers about ways to make Glass even more secure, so this month we’re adding the ability to lock your screen. Just like with your laptop or phone, no one can use your locked Glass until you enter your secret Glass handshake using taps and swipes. You can set it up in Settings.

Hangouts

You’ve told us you love video calls on Glass, but you’ve made it clear that you want Hangouts messages on Glass too. Well now we’ve got it. Chatting with your best friend, messaging everyone from your ski trip at once, sending picture messages… all of it is now possible on Glass. You can enable the Hangouts Glassware and update your messaging preferences at MyGlass. 

Upload to YouTube

Some of the videos you record through Glass are pure gold, and worthy of sharing with other people. You can now upload those must-share moments by enabling the YouTube Glassware on MyGlass. Once you’re done recording, either tap on the video and swipe to the YouTube share card, or say “ok glass, share with YouTube.” So go on, share that video of you at the zoo, #throughglass.
 
Wink

Glass is about helping you look up and experience the world around you without getting bogged down by technology. Based on this philosophy, we've got a new setting that lets you quickly and easily capture the moments you care about with a simple wink of the eye. Whether it's capturing an amazing sunset on an evening walk, or photographing your receipt for the lunch you'll need to expense, you can now stay in the moment and wink to take a picture instantly.  If you want to turn it on, just swipe over to Settings.

We’re starting with pictures, but just think about what else is possible. Imagine a day where you’re riding in the back of a cab and you just wink at the meter to pay. You wink at a pair of shoes in a shop window and your size is shipped to your door. You wink at a cookbook recipe and the instructions appear right in front of you – hands-free, no mess, no fuss. Pretty cool, right?

Music

We recently introduced music and it really is the gift that keeps on giving. +Google Play Music All Access subscribers can pick between their playlists and radio, or try "I'm feeling lucky" to create a radio station based on previous listening history. In addition to using voice, you can also tap on "ok glass" and then "listen" to choose your favorite songs. 

iOS App

Great news iPhone fans, the iOS app is ready, but we need you to have this month’s Glass update first before it will work. We know we spilled the beans a bit too soon, but we’ll let you know when it’s available for download later this week.

As always, you can find the rest of our updates in the MyGlass Explorers Community.

We're calling for greater transparency--asking the government to let us publish in our Transparency Report aggregate numbers of national security requests, including their scope.  Here's our letter to the US government.
