While we're still eagerly awaiting for the Nexus 5 (and 10, and Android 4.4) Google also reminds us that Google Glass is getting closer than ever to a public launch date. For now, Google has expanded the reach of its Glass explorer's program, allowing each person to invite three more friends to buy Google Glass'es.

A nice touch: existing Google explorer will have the opportunity to replace their Glass units for the new model
In any case, although I believe that this kind of tech has the power to revolutionize the word and the way we interact with computers; it all depends on one tiny little detail that Google wants to keep a secret till the very end: the Google Glass price.
Right now, the Glass costs $1500. At this price it won't revolutionize anything, the same way a Ferrari won't revolutionize public transportation. But if Google has plans to bring this to market at a price that will make even regular people ("non-geeks") want to buy it without second thought... then we're on to something. I secretly - well, not so secretly - hope that Google will amaze everyone when the time comes to reveal the Glass price; I guess will have to wait till 2014 to find out!
