It actually had very little to do with Uber and more about a man who genuinely doesn't understand the plight of the poor and how given the right circumstances, in this case desperation, anyone can make a bad decision.

RIP GigaOM http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/9/8180703/gigaom-shuts-down Gigaom, the influential technology website founded by Om Malik nearly a decade ago, is no more. Although Monday saw a lot of new content on the site, including a flood of news and analysis from Apple's event, the site's management ended the day at 5.57PM PT by posting a message notifying readers that "all operations have ceased" as a result of the company becoming unable to pay its creditors.
