Stuff White People Hate
November 21st, 2014




Here’s Will Oremus at Slate talking about the failure of Google Glass:

So what went wrong? In hindsight, it’s easy to blame Google for tone-deaf marketing. It announced the device with much ballyhoo in 2012, setting off waves of hype, only to keep it largely under wraps for months afterward. When it did release a prototype, it made it available only to app developers and other tech-industry insiders. Surprise: Socially awkward white males turned out not to be the ideal brand ambassadors.

White people are the worst. On the list of things they have to answer for, we can now add the premature death of Google Glass.

    The reason Google Glass is dead (for now) is that it really isn’t that useful. And if socially awkward white males are not ideal brand ambassadors, can someone please explain how video games are so popular? #gamergate! hahahahahaha!

    OT, but somebody on Youtube just posited that the Matt Taylor tearful-apology press conference was a worked-shoot (possibly the most brilliant insight I’ve read all week)
