This doesn't seem like much of a grilling because it's essentially coming from Paxman's naive/populist viewpoint rather than direct experience or deep thought. Jaron does provide some of those perspectives, but carefully distinguishes between the device's attributes and Google's attributes - the former being relatively benign and the latter being potentially evil or manipulative or at the very least commercial. I would like to see a longer, unmediated conversation between the two techies, because it seems like the their excitement and resentment come from the potential of the technology more than its current implementation. Such a conversation could actually influence development toward one kind of Glass future or another.
The comments about narcissism are interesting for the public but are ultimately banal and non-specific to this particular technology. The related questions about privacy and how the technology further eliminates barriers between public and private life, however, could use a lot more popular discussion...
As far as I remember Paxo is no dummy, so this looks like a superficial fluff piece to fill time on a slow news day.
What would have been more insightful would be for them to talk about the commodification of the self and how various aspects of personal life are, or will be with the aid of new technology, increasingly commercialised and turned into some kind of property in a manner which they weren't previously. So for example I doubt that whatever companies are selling AR systems in future will be able to resist the temptation to "harvest" and sell personality or health metrics to any other organisations which might want to buy.
