They need to jump ship like their president just did!

Why is this downvoted... a sociopath is someone who holds a complete utter disregard for everyone but themselves. Does that not describe all and any of Uber's actions or this is getting downvoted because your one or want to be his bro?
I know even GameStop got into the scalping it seems... I just want to go to a store and buy it semi-impulsively. The guy at a GameStop said we have them in our warehouse and I can sell you one for $600.
Ok nope I'll wait and there's only one game to play and none schedule to come out for months minus re-hashes of Wii U games.
On a different note..I bought the Wii U for my niece and nephew and MARIO Chase alone is tons of fun; money well spent.
Oh you guys want to stay on his and his current friend's good side.
I could care less Silicon Valley already chewed me up and spit me out because I'm a nice guy with ethics and morality who invents cool shit, yet not a bro.
So he doesn't deserve this or You don't like the nickname he inspires?
Uber can play hardball with its competitors in reason like how it destroys and steamrolls the old taxi industry yet it's gone too far when it streamrolls over everyone who is not a Travis Kaladick bro!!!
From its customers to its drivers to journalists to etc and etc they treat all the same ...like garbage. That's because its CEO let his ego blow up(forgot humility and being thankful for the luck he's be given) and hopefully soon it will blow up in his face!!!
Also when and if Uber falls others who play fair will take over! I.e. All Uber drivers will make an exodus to Lyft!!!
Well Google should be more aggressive but that would be hypocritical of them as they do this stuff themselves to the little guys with no money only a dream/gumption(met with them in 2013 to discuss my audio syncing across multiple devices tech.. it was like that Silicon Valley episode but worse) to im sure their wealthy competitors.
I'm sure it was done purposely by someone in that organization who hates Uber too!
You can't act as they have and not have hordes of enemies!
Hopefully they get an injunction that ceases Uber from its self driving car dreams and or wipes them out of existence.
You can not act as they have without major consequence(karma)!
Who cares if Uber is a tad dirty in breaking down down the status quo. The public didn't cared previously about this until they realized that Uber treats everyone(their employees, contracted drivers, customers, stealing from their competitor, the common man driving to work who could get killed by an unproven Uber robot car and more) like trash and steamrolls over all who is not a KalaDick bro!
That needs to be a service... if a phone call is received not listed in your contacts send them to Lenny.
And they don't care if a few dozen or more people die at the hands of their self driving car because all they care about is winning the self car driving war at all and any cost!
Some hacker or a hacker group plz teach uber a lesson in humility and make sure they pay for their sins! This is not how you win and or change the world via deaths of dozens of innocent drivers killed by your self driving unproven cars which you stole from Google.
Their lack of humility.. morals .. ethics is Unbelievable!!!
Uber needs to be hacked and destroyed to finally teach its founders humility, morality and ethics. He isn't going to change until he meets rock bottom!!!
It's gone off the Internet for the user and everyone.
Why are ppl defending this tactic because you use it at your startup and try to justify it as right when it's SO WRONG and hostile to your users.
It is? Who else does this so I can avoid them!
It's an internet service .. I don't need to send an email to Facebook, twitter, etc to have my account canceled. Uber should be no different unless there's a pending charge then tell the user you can cancel after payment has cleared ...not wait until we feel like emailing you to handle your request because WE WANT TO LOCK YOU IN! I was and am still furious that I was unable to cancel my phantom Uber account immediately after my bank account got hacked.
Any web service following this scheme is not doing it for their users but for themselves!!!
Why does a user have to email a company to delete their account? How is that consumer friendly, especially after Uber lets your account get hacked/1k stolen!
This happened to me (I never used Uber.. signed up and forgot about it) and in my research I found out they know about the hacks and their PR message is its the user's fault for using a lame password.
What a horrible company.. run by the worst vile, corrupt, arrogant sociopaths ever!
Hmmm based upon a suggestion above I looked at SpeakerBlast and it looks like they got audio playback synced up on a tablet, laptop, phone, etc....

hmmm, so i guess it can be done!??!
Spotify doesn't offer this? I thought they did?
If not +1.
Google Buzz and now Google+.
Google stop trying to be Facebook! You need to change course and focus on the consumer(customer service) & their privacy.
Otherwise others will and are starting to eat your lunch!
Very cool!
I use a hack to have Siri retrieve my bank balance via a SMS. This comes in handy while in the car and you want to balance your checkbook in your head.
Looks like someone got this working using various smartphones http://vimeo.com/71647538
FM radios though just might sound better.
Check out SpeakerBlast (http://speakerblast.com).
Think that is what your talking about or similar?
That's a bit of a stretch to say you created a better standard then Apple and all the others out there!
Give it about a month and Chrome for Android will provide web audio API support. It's currently in chrome for android beta
Our web app that plays audio in sync on multiple devices works in iOS, Chrome (non mobile) & Firefox Aurora. Were eagerly awaiting for the newest Chrome for Android to drop.
iOS supports the web audio API solidly & can be used to get sound working in this app
Here are two web audio API example apps... http://sleep.fm (online alarm clock; view on iOS device)
And
http://speakerblast.com - blast audio in sync on multiple devices
Anyone know other web apps that heavily use the web audio API?
That's 50 peoples' smartphones or smartphones, tablets and laptops all playing at once?
I'm confused ... who is their competition?
What other sites make learning this stuff easy and fun for the masses? Also offer it as a free service? I'm not aware of others...
