Christopher Nerney answers Re: How do you respond to a job interviewer that asks to see your social media activity? What's next, your tax forms? A list of people you've slept with?

The last I heard was that Google hoped to be shipping the commercial version of Glass toward the end of the year. With Google Glass Explorer Edition (the beta version) just now going out to 15,000 early testers and developers, it's too early to tell if Google can ship by year's end (assuming that's the plan).

Unless you can get Anonymous on the case, probably not. I'd just turn off the WiFi when you're not using it. If he's truly going nuts with the bandwidth-hogging, that means he's using it a lot. If he finds he can't use it at all for long periods, he might get frustrated enough to get his own WiFi.
