The physical cover would of course also prevent this type of malware.

The API checks would prevent what we were able to do in Malnotes, and the "recording" light would work much like webcams currently do.
A more technical discussion of what we were able to exploit is on Ars Technica in the comments (skip past the trolls). http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/03/google-glass-spyware...
I mean, a person could fashion a "cover" that functions as a one-way mirror does, no?
If Google pushed this and marketed it, it'd really take the edge off the privacy concerns about Glass (I'd still not buy one but I wouldn't necessarily force a wearer to put them away before entering my house).
Relying on your userbase to "not be glass holes" is a recipe for backlash, even against those who "use responsibly".
