You might know this, but there's a Canadian sports clothing brand called "Roots" with a picture of a beaver as the logo. I imagine they'd be well received in Australia as a funny commodity.Evil Smurf said:
This is a minor pedantic quibble, but to be fair, censorship is not EXCLUSIVELY a state / political act. Corporate censorship may be nebulous and uneven, but it's fair to say it exists, rampantly. That said, I agree that their action was not draconian, nor are they interested in moralizing, so much as making a calculated PR statement.lacktheknack said:

Outside of prohibiting the sale of apps with sexually explicit marketing or content, I doubt Google really can or even care to bother trying to stop the inevitable use of the A/V capture and streaming functions of the device used to record sexual encounters, so long as it doesn't get red flagged as something criminally offensive.
I had a great idea for a google glass app that streams the feed to a computer fitted with video drivers to split the signal into a display that the Occulus Rift could accommodate. While it would, in broad strokes, allow people to 'body jump' into the sight and mic'd sound of a person wearing the Glass, it would be much more interesting if said person was mid coitus with the Rifter, or vica versa. POV clips would see a revolution in production quality.
In practical implementation, this would be limited by the monocular camera of the Glass trying to fill the stereoptic field of the Rift. It wouldn't be hard to impose a built in margin offset or short MS delay to create a fake 3D effect on the multiplied video signals, but that would be uneven and dodgy. Perhaps summing multiple juryrigged Glasscam signals could do the trick.
We have the technology.
