Google Glass rooted and hacked to run Ubuntu live at Google I/O

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/glasshackinglead01.jpgToday at Google I/O the company held a session entitled “Voiding your Warranty” where employees demonstrated how to root Google Glass and install Ubuntu on it. What you’re seeing above is a screenshot from a laptop running a terminal window on top and showing the output from Glass on the bottom – here running the standard Android launcher. The steps involve pushing some APKs (Launcher, Settings and Notepad) to the device using ADB, then pairing Glass with a Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad.
