" Hey Google Glass, we&amp;#039;ve been hard on you, and for that we&amp;#039;re sorry. But just like a doting (but stern) parent, we pushed you because we knew you could do better. And better you did. Google Glass 1.0 was undeniably cool. Like, really, really cool. But its initial design left us wanting more. Well, today Google delivered an update to their new device, and things are looking much better.  While the first generation, known as the Explorer edition, was limited to about 10,000 fancy people who paid about $1,500, today the company unveiled the plans for a wider consumer-oriented launch, which will be much cheaper thanks to a subsidy provided by insurance provider VSP. But the more important change comes in the look of the 2.0 launch. Glass has moved away from its sci-fi design look and adapted the device to fit on more commonplace frame styles. An internal team designed the four new options (known as curve, thin, split, and bold) and each of the titanium frames is offered in three different colorways (the company is quick to point out that the new versions were created in-house, not with the help of outside consultation like Warby Parker, as some had speculated).  Our verdict is that these are a vast improvement and that we can only expect the marriage between technology and aesthetics to become more seamless and streamlined as time goes on. It&amp;#039;s likely that within the near future you won&amp;#039;t be able to tell who&amp;#039;s wearing Google Glass and who isn&amp;#039;t. And, well, that&amp;#039;s a scary thought. In the meantime, keep an eye out for the wider release of Google Glass later this year, and learn more about it here. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
