Google doesn’t want you to be a “Glasshole.”
That’s according to a new list of “do’s” and “don’ts” the company has published with advice for Google Glass wearers.
“Do’s” include exploring the world around you, taking advantage of Glass voice commands, asking for permission when you video people or take their photo, and using screen lock.
“Don’ts” include “glass-outs” — in which you appear to zone out while doing in-depth work on your headset, playing high-impact sports wearing your Google Glass, expecting people around you to ignore the fact that you’re wearing a computer on your face, and being generally creepy or rude.
BlackBerry has today updated BBM to add support for devices running Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

If you’re itching to see Nokia unveil its first Android-powered smartphone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week, then you’ll be pleased to know you can watch the entire thing live from the comfort of your own home.
