Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) PR offers cute list of things to do and not to do. Glass Explorers take note: Google doesn't want you to be nerdy. Otherwise, it might spoil it for everyone (but especially for Google). Yes, in a belated realization that real people find Glass as creepy as a school for stuffed bunnies, the enormous ad-broker suggests some rules to live by.
