Are you an Augmented Reality enthusiast? Do you have Cyborg envy? Are you sick and tired of companies not taking your damn money already? Well here's your chance to get in front of the latest technological achievement of mankind: Google is looking for a few people to become "Google Explorers" and try out their Google Glasses...but it'll cost you $1500.
Google launched a new site for the glasses this week, which gives you a brief introduction to the technology that will one day make you a prime target for subway thieves:

If it worked for Bloomberg, it can work for anyone.
