And here's the comment I was looking for. Monitors aren't designed to be placed into portrait mode. They completely suck. Each eye sees different brightnesses and colours. It's truly awful unless you're one of those people that doesn't mind a distorted image. You probably have your widescreen TV in 4:3 to 16:9 stretch mode at home too.

Exactly. Taxis are so heavily regulated for two reasons. First of course is taxes. Second, and more important in my opinion, is because they have a long long history of screwing their customers. They deserve every bit of regulation that's thrown their way, from licensing, vehicle standards, pay guidelines, etc. They're a very common and important service and they NEED to be heavily regulated or every tourist that visits your city gets screwed. It's not how cities want to present themselves to the world. Now, how this affects Uber is that they're a taxi service that thinks the rules don't apply to them. I expect every city in the country will eventually sue them for not following the taxi regulations.

The only ads I get that are truly targeted come AFTER I've bought something. I bought a freezer a few days ago. Now I get ads for fridges and freezers everywhere because I had looked up some reviews. Do these idiots really think I'm in the market for two freezers? Same thing happened with an engagement ring. I'm STILL getting targeted ads for jewelry even though they're almost a year late. I have made a point to visit a few high profile lingerie sites just so that my targeted ads for the next few months will feature scantily clad models. Just have to go to their homepage then close the tab.

Why don't they start selling groceries? Or getting into the adult webcam business? Or, hell, why not ANYTHING? 3D printing has nothing to do with the postal service and makes as much sense as any of my suggestions.
