Now Google Glass Sex App to help you make love better

With Google Glass expected to come to market later this year, some very interesting apps too are in the development pipeline, one of which promises to boost your sex life! ‘Sex with Glass’ or just ‘Glance’ is an app being developed to allow partners having sex to see themselves from their partner’s point of view.

The app being developed by students based out of London, offers couples the chance to “see everything, from every angle” while making love, using a pair of linked-up headsets. The Glance app films a video of the tryst, so you can watch it later when all is said and done.

To get started, just say, “OK Glass, it’s time,” and the app will begin streaming what your partner sees in front of your own eyes. If you feel like stopping everything, just say, “OK Glass, pull out”. The app then puts the footage together and shows a video of the “whole thing”, but the video will be deleted after five hours unless you save it.

To make use of the app, both partners indulging will need to wear Google Glass during the act. The voyeur app lets you see two different perspectives seamlessly- that of you and your partner’s. It changes the way you experience something intimate, claims the developers’ website. The project was conceptualized at a Wearable Tech Hackathon.

The app has gained huge traction even before its release!

Google opens your Gmail inboxes to strangers- Here’s how to opt out!

In a move that may stir another privacy row, Google plans to bolster its failed  social network Google+ by letting strangers contact you without them needing to know your email address. The new privacy concern lets anyone with a Google+ account send emails to Gmail users, and vice versa.

This is how, Gmail product manager David Nachum, in a blog post, described the new feature.

“Have you ever started typing an email to someone only to realize halfway through the draft that you haven’t actually exchanged email addresses? If you are nodding your head ‘yes’ and already have a Google+ profile, then you’re in luck.”

Well, that sounds significantly useful if you are the sender— but rather invasive if you are on the receiving end!

Here’s what it looks like.

How to opt out

Well, the good news is you are still in control. You control whether unknown people can reach you this way with a new setting in Gmail.

Emailing Google+ connections also takes advantage of Gmail’s new inbox categories. When someone in your circles emails you, the email will land in the Primary category of your inbox. But if they are not in your circles, it will be filtered into the Social category (yet another reason to enable the categories, if you haven’t already). Further, if you don’t reply or add them to your circles, they won’t be able to continue spamming you.

You will start seeing this feature over the next couple of days. You’ll get an email with information and a link to the setting when the feature is made  available for your account.

Having said all that, it would make more sense if Google had made it into an “opt-in” feature rather than an “opt-out” one. But then the internet giant loves to keep those privacy advocates in business!
