How I Used Smart Glasses to Trick a Bartender Into Giving Me a Free Drink
I recently reviewed Even Realities G1 smart glasses (they’re very cool) and the first real-world thing I used them for was scamming someone.

Apple Removed the Controversial ‘Tea’ and ‘TeaOnHer’ Apps From the App Store
Though it brings me no pleasure, it’s once again time to discuss the viral apps Tea and TeaOnHer. You may remember them from the summer, when Tea—where women could anonymously rate and discuss men under the pretense of helping each other safely navigate dating—was the target of data breaches that exposed users’ personal information.
