Tried it but the site lost my registration and never sent an email. Cool concept but has bugs.
That's a good one. Remember UberCHOPPER (just USD 3,000 from Manhattan to the Hamptons) with Blade? They had a promotion to have a smart AC unit delivered for a flat fee during the summer 1.5 years ago, if I recall.
True--while most Uber vehicles are black, it's not a requirement according to a few drivers I've queried. The BLACK category indicates a luxury vehicle for which a BMW 5 would certainly qualify.
The types of Uber cars available varies depending on the city. If available, choose BLACK CAR if you want a better car. In NYC we have uberT, uberX and BLACK CAR (and sometimes RUSH, for deliveries). Inside those major categories are subs; uberX has uberX, uberXL, CAR SEAT. BLACK CAR has BLACK CAR and SUV.

You don't need an iOS device to watch the website's ad. It's an embedded YouTube video. Here's the direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVYimOiEya8

Excellent and logical response, cookiecaper. The developer's article could have been written more succinctly, but the points he makes are completely valid and the larger issue of how Google's unintended power to credibly damage a developer's career should not be taken lightly.
Re:Family Asked To Leave Southwest Flight After Tweet on Wednesday July 23, 2014 @04:42PM (#8076844)
The Southwest gate agent only knew about the tweet because the passenger told her while boarding. She probably then searched for it and then had him deplane to remove it.
Over 101,000 in gmail's all mail. Inbox only has 40 emails, so depends on the definition here since we're talking labels/meta vs traditional folders.
