In the UK UBER is classed as a Private Hire cab company and their drivers have to go through the same tests as any cab driver. UBER were refused a renewal of their licence to operate in York back in December because of the massive data breach and how they kept it quiet instead of being open about it, and the number of complaints.
On the 14th of March they dropped the appeal against this decision, potentially opening the way for every Licensing Authority in the UK to suspend and revoke their licence.
Is this the end of the road for the multi-billion dollar cab giant in the UK? Is it really uber and out?

Oh my god, I finally worked up the testiclular fortitude to submit a /. article!

I almost put (hi mom, look I'm on /. =)) at the end of it. This has to be the crowning acheivment of my life. I found that I could submit an email address too, so I went out and made a new DynDNS.org domain to funnel all the spam into. You never know.

Its daunting, not knowing if Michael, or COmmander Taco, or even.. OMG, Cowboy Neal! will read it and think it worthy of putting.. on /. ...

I will DIE if my friends read it, I really will. I will be the envy of all in my circle of friends, and I can put the URL on my website...

$page_title = "PReDiToR's Homepage [You know, the one that submitted to /.]"

My only wonder is why I have only seen Tom's Hardware mentioned once before, is it because of some geek inner circle thing? Is Tom's unworthy of being attached to /. ?

I guess I will know sooner or later.

OK, enough, I'm babbling =)
