The next time someone tells me that online video is too cutting-edge for them, I'll point out that the Pope is now using this medium. OK, I'm pretty sure that he didn't set up the Qik account himself, but still.

Red Herring reports on non-geeky eyewear that offers users a “large-screen view of video content meant for the size-challenged screens on portable devices.”
Three capital funders gave MicroOptical, a start-up based in Massachusetts, $11.5 million to bridge the gap between computer technology and stylish eyewear.
I’m curious to see how far this goes. My only fear is that people (looking fabulous, no doubt) will be driving their cars while watching videos. Egads.
Hat tip to Dave Williams.
UPDATE: I’ve seen a few stories floating around today about Apple’s intentions to distribute Hollywood movies for $9.99 via iTunes.
One big objection? The small screens typical of portable players.
Perhaps if these special specs catch on, we’ll all be enjoying movies with them. Who knows? We could also see corporations purchasing the glasses in quantity for employee training. No more squinting at a tiny screen.
