    It's not only the World Cup, it's everything, everywhere, all the time. We are drowning in marketing messages. It's gross.

      AR glasses with ad blocking would be a must-buy for me…though how would I learn about it?

      Seems like a good feature for AirPods too, though the new CEO Ternus seems committed to the opposite.

        There's something to it

          When I first saw Google Glass this was my exact idea for the perfect use case. It's a shame that the advertising-fueled, spyware creeper reality of the tech makes that dream seem ever distant.
