Google Glass Sale; Camera


Topping tech headlines on Tuesday was the first public sale of Google Glass.


Adults in the U.S. had the chance to purchase the high-tech specs for $1,500 from Google's website, but if you didn't buy them yesterday, you're out of luck: Google said it's all out of Glass right now, though it didn't specify how many headsets were purchased. If you did buy it, your Glass will soon get an upgrade to Android KitKit.

Meanwhile, Google appears to be working on a set of camera-enhanced smart contact lenses controlled by the wearer's eye movements, according to a new patent application.


In other news, Twitter announced its acquisition of social data provider Gnip. According to Twitter, this move will help 'to offer more sophisticated data sets and better enrichments' for developers and businesses.
