Neelie Kroes, the one responsible for EU's digital agenda has already questioned Google Glasses always on function for your information.

and yet the "cool" media types are lapping up google glasses... odd world isnt it.

it's a good thing politicians aren't cool then! A lot of comapnies have to change their products, software or whatever the law in EU doesn't agree with, before they are allowed to do business in the EU's market. A couple of examples;

Microsoft had to pay a fine (2 times) because they didn't have the option of choosing another browser in Windows

Google had and has to delete a lot of information from their engine as the EU doesn't want it there

Apple has a one year guarantee on their products, but the EU ordered them to make it at least 2 years over here

Facebook has to block gambling ads over here and much more.
