Google Glass in now on sale to everyone . . .but if you're outside the US, you're out of luck!

Google Glass: Now the frame comes too

One month after putting a limited stock of the face-mounted computer Glass on sale for a single day, Google has made it available to consumers once again.

Last month was the first time Glass was on sale to the general public. Glass was initially available only to developers, but Google slowly expanded the program to include regular people. The company terms these early adopters "Google Glass explorers," and the project remains in beta mode.

In a Google+ post, Google said Glass will remain in the Explorer program while the company tweaks its hardware and software. But as long as supplies last, anyone in the United States can buy one on Google's online store.

Before you rush out, it's not cheap -- the device sells for $1,500. The good thing is that the frame is now in with price, not $200 plus extra

The technology is also controversial. Glass users have been criticised for infringing on others' privacy. It's been banned from bars and restaurants and wearers have been given tickets for distracted driving. In a recent blog post, Google urged explorers not to act like "Glassholes."
