I've only skimmed uber-related threads, but this amount of knighting for a cab company is both comical and alarming. But then again, look at what we have on the tech board.

So you find it alarming that people support a company that offers an alternative transportation option that provides convenient methods for payment and communication while eliminating the annoying uncertainty of the "cab's" location relative to the consumer? Or is it alarming that people support an option that uses basic economic principles like supply as demand (which often saves he user money) without government interference, hidden costs, and crony capitalism?
