Uber says it's changed and is now ever-so ShinyHappy™

I can't see an issue with Uber where I am in Manchester.

Drivers are always good, cabs are always licenced private hire cabs and the drivers I have spoken too like not carrying cash and being able to work the hours they choose.

A few of them have quit the firms they were at and now have their own cars (leased prius at £200 a week) which cost less than hiring a meter from local private hire.

Rackspace's 'fanatical' army drops in on rival clouds

Worst hosting company.

I used them for a few years and they were fantastic. They cost a bit more than the other companies I was using (Server Beach and Server Intellect) over in the states, but their service was fantastic.

2/3 years ago something happened and their service just turned to shit. They went from being the most helpful to foisting any problems back at you. I took my 3 servers over to the US and I would never use them again.
