Almost every notable tech company has at least one unethical story behind it. Steve Jobs and Woz selling blue boxes to fund Apple is probably the most famous.

- r00fus 12y agoLook at the morality between your comparison. Jobs/Woz wanted to defraud a monolithic monopoly (Ma Bell) while Uber is talking about getting back at journalists (mind you I have no naive view of "reporters" and their employers). Sounds pretty distinct to me - both are rules broken, just one is about silencing investigation and the other is about stealing from the rich.
- Lerc 12y agoI agree with your point, but there's a fair few genuine ethical issues from Jobs, sometimes even at the expense of Woz. Jobs was a bit of a dick sometimes, Woz still counted him a friend.
