It would be lame if Apple bought 1Password and continued to charge for it. It doesn't have the same economics of stuff like storage or music streaming and should be free if backed by a company like Apple. I have no problem at all payin

You have a credit card on file for anyone who gets in, it seems pretty easy to police. Even the most simple method of a button on the app to report a problem with the car when it arrives would work fine.

Uber currently pays these "low skilled people" ~75% of the fare which leaves a lot of headroom to lower prices and still pay for vehicles and cleaning. Rental car companies show how few people it takes to maintain a very large f

A tad misleading, they filed to issue up to $1.2B more of their almost worthless stock over the next 3 years. They haven't actually raised any money. Here is the filing: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data

Google takes 45% of the revenue that they go out and get for you while they cover 100% of all expenses... Not the worst deal I've heard of. Seems like a better deal than app stores that take 30% of the revenue that you go out and get y

If you're looking for a specific business you would type it in the search box... By default it highlights places I often go, popular places, landmarks, etc. Highlighting a lunch place at lunch time makes a ton of sense to me.

How do you do that? I've navigated at least 50k miles with Google Maps and have never encountered this once.

Why would you need to see the name of the street? You're much more likely to pull open a map to go somewhere instead of learning about street names in your own neighborhood. If I want to see every street labeled I can just zoom in, but

Just tap the map... Quite easy to use Google Maps by scrolling around the map.
