I ordered and recently received the new Car Vent Mount with MagSafe made and sold by Moment (Lens). Exclusively designed for the new MagSafe technology in the iPhone 12, it has a super strong magnet. It quickly and securely connects with the iPhone. With MagSafe no special case is required for use. This is the…
Are you a good Uber passenger? It’s easy to find out what your passenger rating is (if you need help check out my how-to post here). Uber recently explained that in Australia and New Zealand any passenger with less than a 4.0 rating will be banned from rides. The ban could easily be implemented in…
Your Uber passenger rating is starting to become even more important now that, in certain countries, passengers with less than a 4.0 rating are banned from the service.

It’s certainly true that “big data” and proper analytics can deliver actionable insights leading to smarter decisions. Yet, the value of said insights depends greatly on the quality of the…
Most travelers aren’t aware that after using Uber drivers are rating those whom they pick up. What’s also a little known fact is that you can have Uber send your average rating. The rating system, which uses a one through five scale (five being the best), was put in place by the company so drivers…
