Google Maps now displays Uber drivers in real-time

Google  made everyone’s lives a bit easier when it  started integrating info  on ride services like Uber  and Lyft  right into Maps – though all it really did was provide a price estimate and link you to the respective app. Now Maps is getting a much better overview of ride options. Instead of just a simple price estimate for a couple of services and their sub-categories, it will now show a real map with local drivers in your area moving around in  You’ll also be able to access the full breadth of ride options, instead of just the standard and carpool options (e.g. UberXL, UberBlack, etc.), as well as view any special offers or promotions. Moreover, Google is testing even tighter integration with Uber, such that you never have to leave Maps (or even install the Uber app). Once you sign in with or create an Uber account, you’ll be able to see a map, track your driver, and communicate with them too. It actually has some advantages over the standard Uber app other tha

Trump says no one cares about his tax returns, Twitter disagrees

Donald Trump gave his first press conference in seven months on Wednesday, and of course it was dominated by Tuesday's bombshell reports alleging Russian interference in the election and hidden cameras capturing certain liquid-based fetishes.  There was another issue, though, that was very much on everyone's mind even if Trump wouldn't admit it: his tax returns. SEE ALSO:  In stunning exchange, Trump refuses to answer question from CNN reporter Speculation was rife that the binders full of paper on the dais would offer a torturously belated insight into Trump's financial affairs. Alas, it was not to be. In fact, Trump insisted that no one outside the media could care less about the issue. “The only one that cares about my tax returns are the reporters,” he  said . “I won.” "I don’t think they care at all. I think  you  care,” he added, confrontationally. That doesn't seem to be the case. In fact, many of the 74% of likely voters who said they
