One place you probably won’t see much of Google Glass is Las Vegas. According to the New York Times, the newly minted headsets that have spawned a tragicomic Tumblr are going to be verboten in most of the city’s gambling establishments.
Why would they, when developers are coming up with Glass apps such as Winky, which allows users to snap a photo with just the blink of an eye?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is so disgusted that the U.S. Olympic athletes will be wearing uniforms made in China that he thinks the outfits should be burned.
“I am so upset,” the Nevada Democrat told reporters Thursday. “I think the Olympic Committee should be ashamed of themselves. I think they should be embarrassed. I think they should take all the uniforms and put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again.”
He added, “If they have to wear nothing but a singlet with ‘USA’ on it painted by hand, that’s what they should wear.”
ABC News reported Wednesday that no part of the Ralph Lauren-designed opening ceremony uniform was made in America.
Asked why the athletes’ uniforms were not manufactured in the states, the U.S. Olympic Committee told ABC: “The U.S. Olympic team is privately funded and we’re grateful for the support of our sponsors. We’re proud of our partnership with Ralph Lauren, an iconic American company.”

At today’s press conference, Mayor Oscar Goodman of Las Vegas indicated that fences have been mended with the White House since February, when Goodman had refused to attend President Obama’s functions in Las Vegas.
At that time, Goodman wanted the president to make an apology following Obama’s Feb. 2 remark to a New Hampshire audience: “You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college.”
Then Goodman said during a hastily called news conference that Obama is no friend to Las Vegas and would not be welcomed here if he visits.
“I’ll do everything I can to give him the boot,” Goodman said. “This president is a real slow learner.”
Obama didn’t offer the full apology, but did tell a large gathering of Las Vegas business leaders in February, “Let me set the record straight: I love Vegas.”
“I’d like a declaration of support. But I think the last time he was here he did the right thing by us. I don’t hold him any grudges,” Goodman said.
However, the mayor says he still won’t get to meet with the president when he campaigns tonight and Friday in Las Vegas.
“I wish I could. I wish I could be out there,” Goodman said.
“I’m meeting with Wayne Newton at 5,” Goodman said. “That’s been set up for over a week.” “Danke Schoen”
