' 

A new app will allow total strangers to ID you and pull up all your information, just by looking at you and scanning your face with their Google Glass. The app is called NameTag and it sounds CREEPY.

The "real-time facial recognition" software "can detect a face using the Google Glass camera, send it wirelessly to a server, compare it to millions of records, and in seconds return a match complete with a name, additional photos and social media profiles."

The information listed could include your name, occupation, any social media profiles you have set up and whether or not you have a criminal record ("CRIMINAL HISTORY FOUND" pops up in bright red letters according to the demo).' end quote

And it pays to check the permissions you give Apps when installing them or updating them .... the latest FB update on my tablet wanted "rights to access all SMS and MMS on all devices" amongst other intrusive requests.

I suggest most folk just click "accept" without another thought ...

Big Brother is watching you.

Nothing is private anymore.

Who is behind all this spying for informations on each and every individual ?

They must get permission from somewhere to be able to release such gadgets for the public to use.

Pitty help us all.

Well it seems we are safe for the moment...  the bottom line of that link says...

It's enough to make you root for that app that lets you film Google Glass porn. If you had to pick one. Luckily, Google has banned facial-recognition software from the Glass—for now.
